A Day at the Races

Today was a beautiful day. For the first time in awhile (or at least I think...I've been pretty busy at work) it didn't rain. Because of the good weather we were able to fulfill our plans of taking Graeden to the race track near our house for some racing fun. The kids have to be at least 4 1/2 to race the Quarter Midgets so only Graeden got to drive, but the other boys had fun at the track anyway.

Before the race started they played at the park nearby and did the bean bag toss game.


Elliott went around collecting all the balls, but he was more than willing to share with the other kids.


Waiting in line for Graeden to get suited up.


They even let Elliott try on some gear with Graeden.


Here's Elliott doing his Marvin the Martian impersonation.

And he's off...




Good job Graeden! He kept his turns very smooth and responded perfectly to the flagger the entire time. He did excellent.
