Hydromania 2009

What a great day for a Hydro party. It was so hot - almost like being in the Tri-Cities for our annual gathering. Too bad we didn't have the pool, willow tree or air conditioning! We did have misting stations, a kiddie pool and our very own "Red Neck Pool" in the back of Dick's truck. We learned why they call them "heats" as we had to go out from the shade to race. The final had it's drama as the trailer boat was DQ'd and Brady will have his name engraved on the trophy for the second time. The food was fabulous. Ken shared his hours of Food Network training with 12 amazing sauces for our sliders and chicken. Come join us next year!!

Katelyn is ready to pilot the pink boat. She made it into the final race.

Grampa and Elleanor agree it is OHHHH so hot!

The checkered flag is waved and Brady is overcome with emotion at winning Hydromania 2009 (Don't worry, we will remind him next year that he won)
