Meridian Speedway Races

We have some friends in our neighborhood who had extra tickets to the races at the speedway one Saturday evening, and they offered them to us.  My girls had no interest in going, so they stayed home and babysat Owen and Kate.  Scott and I took the other three boys (and our neighbor Liam), and attended our very first car races.  It was the same day as the football party up at Lucky Peak, so we were all tired and hot.  The races weren't much better.  With the sun beating down on us, and everyone around us smoking cigarettes (seriously, I've never seen so many smokers in one place), I questioned our decision to go.  But once the races started, things got fun.  And eventually the sun went down and the evening turned into a really pleasant night.

The boys loved cheering the cars on.

The car crashes were very exciting.  

Dirty feet (Nate) usually mean an awesome day was had.
