I've learned that the girls either love racing or spending time with daddy. Since I love spending time with the girls and exploring racing, I don't need to know which one it really is. Last week, with the sitter on vacation, I helped out by taking a day to spend with McKenna and Keeghan. We headed out in the afternoon to visit some race shops outside Charlotte and ended up at the Roush Fenway and Hendrick shops.
I had been waiting for last night's "Night of Destruction" at the local track to arrive. Besides racing, the event had two monster trucks and a demolition derby. When Camdyn heard where I was going she really wanted to go too. It was a long night, but we had a lot of fun, and surprisingly Camdyn did very little complaining. It helped to make sure she know what was going to happen and what behavior was and wasn't going to cut it before we left home. She was resting her eyes when the last race ended with the first and second place cars wrecking into each other through the final turn with both crossing the finish line side by side, sidewise, and in the grass. Otherwise, she saw it all including the grand finale derby (although some of that was hidden behind the thick smoke of wrecked vehicles directly in front of us.) Unfortunately, the camera's battery didn't make it all the way, so I can't show the last race or the derby, but here's some of what we did get:
Up next, Marcey and I are going with the church on a trip to tour Lowe's Motor Speedway next week. Ladies and Gentleman, Start your engines!!!
