Perk...

One of the many perks to working from home... I get to send the guys off to school every once in a while! They were good sports and stopped walking so I could get their picture.

Race!

The race was fun to watch! There was an exciting ending where they had to go to overtime! Chase Elliott won the race. After the race was over, we made the long trek back to the vehicle and started to head home. We made it back to Marion around midnight!






Cars, Cars, and More Cars...

We got a lot of pictures of the cars right before the race started! One of our favorite things is to watch the jets fly over right before the race starts. 



















Pre Race Activities!

It is Race Day! We were up and ready to head over to the track. There were a lot of pre race activities and we were able to meet and greet several of the drivers before the race. Ben even found a tent where they were playing Rocket League (his favorite game!) We walked around all the merchandise and got some lunch before we headed up to the stands!

We are heading to Kansas today for the Nascar race at the Kansas Speedway tomorrow! It is about a five hour drive. We made reservations at our favorite BBQ restaurant, Jack Stack, for tonight. We are very excited to go see another Nascar race!

Homecoming!

Having two boys getting ready for a dance is funny because they decided to go to the dance that afternoon, we got tickets online, and they showered and dressed about an hour before dance time! Not much prep work for a Homecoming dance! The guys stayed the whole time and told us they had fun dancing with their friends.
