Father's Day... Nascar Race

What a wonderful day we had on Father's day!! My Mom and Dad came in for the weekend and we (Mike and I) took my Dad and Brevin to the Nascar Race while my Mom stayed home with the twins (Thank you Mom!!!). Now I will admit that I have never been much of a racing fan.. just not my kind of "sport".. I am more of a football kind of girl but I know how much Brevin is into Nascar and I wanted to experience a race... so off we went. Wow.. what an amazing day!! I always knew the cars went fast but never could I imagined how really FAST they go... it almost doesn't seem real... it is seriously amazing.. it gets your heart pounding! And the noise... it is SO loud that you have to wear earplugs or earphones which we all did. These drivers are amazing.... the speed that they get these cars up to... it is so fun to watch how fast they whip by you... you can't even get your eyes to focus on one car when they are infront of you.. it is like a flash and they are gone... you know how when you see something far away moving.. it is moving in slow motion?? Well not in this case.. I posted a video ... check it out and see how fast they are going in the distance!!

What a fun day with my Dad.. Mike and Brevin. We still have no idea how Brevin got into Nascar.. neither Mike or I ever really watch it but it is fun seeing Brevin really enjoy and get into this!! It was so special for us to be able to spend one-on-one time with Brevin and he so enjoyed having Grandpa with!! I can't wait till next year.. we might have to make this a Father's Day tradition!!
