Today we went on a double date with Chuck and Jamie to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway to watch the truck series nascar race thing. Chuck has hookups with his company, so we all got to go hangout and eat in a suite while we watched the race. Our neat little wrist bands got us up on the roof where I took these pictures. This was our first race, and it was a lot cooler than I thought it would be! And I'm not even a red neck.
Nick's hat was free, so we brought one home for Owen, who stayed with a baby sitter (who isn't a family member) for the first time! And he didn't flip out too much! He actually did really well, which is a big deal to me because I was worried sick half of the time. It did help that his cousins were there also. Anyway, he loved the hat so much, he wouldn't take it off to go to bed. So he's laying in bed with it on right now. I'll have to sneak in later to take it off so he can sleep a little more comfortably.
This is a video I took of the race trucks to show how fast and loud they are as they pass. It's only a few seconds long. Their average speed is 160 mph!
