TRUCK RACES

I didn't update since the berry incident last week, but Dewayne got free tickets on Friday to go the truck races on Saturday. So I skipped class and we took the kids to the races. These are off-road trucks - not monster trucks, but they look like Traxxas trucks - it was so cool. We had gotten several inches of rain the day before and the mud was several inches thick, with standing water on top of it - so I made sure all the kids had on jeans and tennis shoes. It was only in the 50's - which is pretty cool here, and it was drizzling and overcast, so we all had on our hoodies and we went mudding... our shoes and pants were just covered in mud from walking out there. Anyone on the first 5 rows got muddy, but we sat up higher, the kids really enjoyed it. We stayed for 4 races, til about 11, the kids were tired - we got out there around 4, and walked around the pits, watched the Traxxes truck traces (RC trucks) visited with some of Dewayne's friends, and got the kids some things from the concession, so we made a pretty good day of it. It was a little loud for Sarah, but she still had a good time, she didn't ever cry, so that was good. We're trying to train them for Nascar :) but they aren't quite ready yet.... lol
