Vroom Vroom

What a great week-end! Friday was Momma's night out for some "grown up" time. This grown up time was a direct cause of almost not making it up to the bean on Saturday morning for pancakes. We of course made it, just a little bit later than usual, and we didn't have any pancakes...just coffee lots of coffee. Sunday was the most fun - it was a great way to wrap up the week-end.

We started the day driving out to Brooklyn, MI for Eric's stock car driving experience(pics and video coming soon). Olivia and I managed to keep ourselves busy and entertained while Eric had his driving classes and orientation, but I was still relieved when Eric's fans started arriving. Eric did awesome - so did Olivia who woke up at 5:30am and did not take a nap until we left the Speedway at 11:30-ish.

We headed out of the speedway for lunch at a great little "mom and pop" place. Kellas won the "are you going to finish that" award, ordering and eating more food than I can fathom. Olivia woke up not long after we got there, I am sure that is because she never wants to miss a lunch date.

From there; go-karting! We got to drive these go karts that supposedly go up to 35 mph and you are allowed to bump the other racers to spin them out. The boys drove first and there were only about 4 or 5 spin outs. Then the girls went next and despite my many successes at evading Sarah's spin out bumps, she got me in the end! As I was pulling into the home stretch she clipped me, not enough to spin me out, but her mission was fufilled! :)

And Finally, here is the video of Eric at the races, a quick little montage. It starts showing him getting his gear on, the car that he drove, and lastly, him driving around the track. And maybe there is some narration from Olivia ;)
