Our First Trip to the Race Way

Having a son is so TOTALLY different from daughters. Levi absolutely loves cars, tractors, wagons, monster trucks~ pretty much anything with wheels. Well, we live about 5 minutes from a race park (is it still race track?). During the summer weekends you can hear the race cars at our house. They were giving away free tickets for the season opener last Saturday so we decided to take the kids. We had never been before so I had no idea what to expect. I was really concerned about what Levi would be like to handle. But he had a blast! We all did. We bought the kids earplugs and I later went back and bought a pair for myself too. They had jet engine cars there. I'm sure most of you know what they are. For those girly girls out there, like myself, who have no idea~ they are cars that have been adapted to be powered by an actual jet engine. (Yeah, just like it sounds. I still really didn't get it til I saw it.) They are incredibly loud! They make your ears vibrate on the inside. After the first two went by I immediately looked at Levi thinking he was going to be scared - he stood up clapping and yelled "Go Vroom Vroom Go Vroom Vroom!" He absolutely loved every bit of it. Sienna however wasn't feeling the loudness of the situation and asked if we go elsewhere. So Sienna walked around alot but she had a really good time too. Sierra had a really good time too. But she did have an older cousin (Dave's niece) there so that added to her good time. Don't you remember being a 'tween' and getting a chance to hang with your 'cool teen' cousin? Nothing better than that! We all had a really nice time (and it was FREE)!
