A day at the track

Since we couldn't go to the track yesterday with soccer in the morning and a birthday party in the afternoon. We decided to make a morning of it today so that Mr I could join us and get to the airport on time.

Mr I found it to be a bit early. But since it is a reasonably long drive, he found a way to make up for lost sleep: (thank you to my co-pilot Grandpa for capturing this one!)
We arrived and Mr I and Grandpa decided to hang out and watch the cars. We had some socializing that we needed to do. My awesome friend the race official had to be located as did godfather Jeff and his lovely bride to be.

Between my awesome friend, her awesome daughter and Jeff Monkey got to get in THREE race cars. It was about the coolest thing ever!!We was really good about not touching the cars, just letting the drivers and their crew load him in and pull him out.
This driver gave him the visual tour first.
Then they strapped on all of the belts. It was really neat. As you can see, Monkey loved it.

Here's Mr I up where we were sitting to watch the races. We only had one chair since ours all got borrowed and not returned. We took turns on it-lol!
Monkey got to watch all of the cars that he had been sitting in racing around the track. What could be cooler??
Monkey was not at all happy to say goodbye to Jeff. He was quite sad to know that the visit would be a very short one and not repeated again for many months.
Thanks Jeff and Bride to be for the awesome books. Monkey loves his and Bic C is pretty much beside himself! You have them both absolutely nailed!!
