Well last night I got to go out and have a lot of fun with my girls that are still at home. (for those that don't know, I have 6 daughters - 3 are married) We all got a chance to go to a West Michigan Whitecaps game.  My work was one of the sponsors of last nights game and so they had a contest at work for people for several of the different events they run between innings and in the middle of the innings. I put Shoshanna in to do the Crash Dash, and she was chosen.  When I found out she won I went home and asked her if she would like to race a 6 foot raccoon around a baseball diamond?  She thought I was pulling her leg at first, but then said it would be lots of fun.  So, I got 4 free tickets as part of it and decided it was girls night out with dad.  Actually it was princess night out with the king.  I have started telling them stories recently about princess Carolyn, and princess Melody, and princess Shoshanna, and the king (me) and such.  

Well long story short I did get video and, true to what I do, put it on YouTube.  Sometimes my wife thinks I am totally wacked putting our lives in video on YouTube for all the world to see.  I think it is pretty cool.  Who knows, one of these days we might be famous.  Shoshanna was to race Crash around the bases, but in true fun fashion Frankie the giant pig had "stolen" Crash's jersey and came out to race her.  She tore it up against the pig!  

The interesting thing is when Shoshanna gets to third base Crash chases Frankie off. Shoshanna does not know exactly what to do now that her race partner is not around any more.  After a moment one of the helpers comes and guides her all the way home.  

Now one other amazing thing about this race.  Shoshanna was diagnosed with leukemia two years ago.  At that time she could not even walk for the most part.  As you watch the video notice how she is totally tearing it up!  YEAH!
