Boogity Boogity Boogity.....

Lets go racin' boys! (my best Darrell Waltrip impression) Eric took Ella and Jack to their first race. I stayed home with Kim, John and Ben. It was a good time for Eric to spend with Ella and Jack. It was also the All-Star race. This would mean lots of fun and fireworks. The segments were short so the kids wouldn't get tired of it. They didn't get tired of the race but they were exhausted by 10. They aren't used to being up that late so after arriving, walking in, watching a race, buying shirts, earplugs, cotton candy and cokes, watching some more racing they were worn out. Jack fell asleep in Eric's lap and not long after so did Ella. She woke up and they left when the third segment ended. I am sure Eric was glad that she woke up because the walk to the car carrying two sleeping children would have been torture. They got in about 11:30 and Eric put the kids in bed but they were back up early with stories to tell. They had a blast and today all the kids are running around in their new race shirts.

Tickets to the 25th NASCAR All-Star Race: $150.00
T-shirts: $45.00
Food: $16.50
Memories of the kids first race with their daddy: priceless
