My Inner Redneck

Saturday night we left Judith in the capable hands of Dad and Meme and went out to have a boys night. Mom's AP owns the GatorPlex in Willis, TX and she invited all her Grangerland colleagues and their families out for a free night of racing and fireworks. Mom had been once before and she said it was super loud. I didn't know if Ezra was going to be ok with the noise or if we wouldn't be able to get him out of the car, so since it was free, I thought it was a good opportunity to try it out. We got there a little early, so we were able to find a seat before it got too loud. We watched the warm up heats. Five of the same type race cars do some laps and I guess the powers that be select which of those cars will compete in the real race. We saw about 7 or 8 of those heats.I know you can see the blue sky in the picture above. Well, that was quickly covered up by some very ominous clouds bringing lightening and hail. They ended up calling it a night before we even got to see any real races because of the threats from the storm. Thank goodness they called it before it started raining. The stand cleared amidst wind and lightening but we all got in our cars before the bottom fell out. Mom took this picture. At least she got some of the sky in the top of the picture. ;)
We all had sooo much fun and were sad our evening was cut short.













Judith is 3 months old. :) She hasn't rolled over yet, but she get stronger every day. She enjoys rocking from side to side and watching her crazy brothers.
