Out to the Races

We won two free tickets (through our grocery store receipt) to the International Raceway in Richmond. Nascar is a huge deal around here and it was an great chance to see what all the hype was about. I so generously out of the love of my charitable heart gave up my tickets for Hyrum (who I knew would appreciate it much more than me).


Hyrum loved the parachute guy with the American flag.


Bry was BRILLIANT-as always- and brought ear plugs which were a lifesaver.


I didn't miss all the noise and the beer guzzling, cigar smoking, sailor mouthed men. But I sure wish I could have been there to see Hyrum's eyes light up with excitement to see the real Lighting McQueen. He really loved it. Now whenever he sees a checkered flag (which are all over the place all of a sudden) he thinks we're in a race.

I bet that was so fun for the boys! Maybe I will look over my recepts before I chuck them in the nearest garbage can from now on.
