Last year for my 30th birthday, my parents gave me a gift certificate. Day at the spa? Nope. Massage? Uh uh. 10 laps at Texas Motor Speedway? In a Nascar?! You got it.
Since it was about to expire, we decided it was time to head out to the track. All three kids and Gigi went to witness this event.
After I checked in we all had a little tailgate. Did I mention how big my new trunk is in the minivan? Good grief, it could have held two more crazy kids.
Right before the first group of drivers took off the leader of the class came up to Jackson and asked him if he would like to drive the four wheeler to push off the first car.
How cool is that?!
I was totally expecting Jackson not to even answer this man, but as soon as he heard there was a four wheeler involved in the proposition, he got this big ol' grin on his face and nodded yes.
Here I am in all my glory in my nascar outfit.
The helmet really helps to complete the look!
A few things about this pic. First, notice the enormously steep slide in the background? Well, apparantly Madison got scared at the top and kept hollering for Gigi. So what did my mom do? Climb up and then climb back down? Nope. She climbed up and then slid down with both kiddos! Now that's a cool Gigi. Second, sweet Miss Lila actually fell asleep about 20 minutes before my race. Yes, you read that right. She fell asleep inside the racetrack. Now that's tired.
I was so very scared at this moment. No time like the present, though, so I hopped on in my #29 Shell racecar.
And off we went! It was about 10 minutes of pure adrenaline pumping through my veins. Wow! I have an all new respect for the real Nascar drivers, that's for sure!
