Supercross SLC


My family made the long trek to Utah to both attend two very exciting events, this supercross race and to celebrate my graduation.  We were afraid we were going to get rained out, cold and miserable so we all came prepared with our jackets, ponchos, blankets, and umbrellas! However we were not allowed to enter with our umbrellas so we ended up hiding them in some nearby trees and surprisingly enough they were still there when the races were over!
We all agreed this race was by far the best one all year! Reed and Stewart were so close! They were passing one another throughout the entire final race.  In the end, Reed was intentionally slowed down by a teammate of Stewart and Stewart pulled away too far for Reed to ever catch back up! We were all a little sad about that as we were all cheering for Reed.  It was still a very exciting race and we were all on our feet the entire time! Tyson just about fell down the stairs at one point he got so excited!  Nevertheless, we all had a great time freezing in the Utah stadium!

Durant was a trooper! It was pretty cold, but as long as he was getting fed cotton candy, starbursts or any other form of sugar he was happy.  Here grandma just gave him a big piece of cotton candy to suck on.
Stewart came out on top...we were all a little upset about that!
