We had a great time at Annalises' birthday party in the morning, then while Mike went back to finish up at work, all 3 kids slept for the afternoon (haven't had that for a while!) - and no, I didn't; too much to do!
Then we went to the speedway, first time for the kids and I haven't been for about 10 years or so...and it was great fun (beats listening to the political analysts on a Saturday night!). After the first round of very noisy super stocks and adjusting the earplugs, earmuffs, seating away from the showers of mud, etc. it was great. Lachie started trying to predict winners (very proudly winning himself $2), but ended up quite good at predicting which cars would end up crashed...here's his favourite of the night, Lighning McQueen ('s little brother maybe?)...
Here's Eden, all geared up, waving at all the cars, even though they didn't wave back...
Lily's decided she wants a pink stock car when she grows up (you only have to be 12 years to race the mini stocks!) because there were no pink cars...and a 16 year old girl won one of the races.
Then the fireworks show - Lily's not been a fan of fireworks to date, but this year a set of earplugs, covered by a set of earmuffs and she loved it and can't wait for the next time. Here's some of my shots...
