Speed Racer

My mom sent me some more pictures from last weekend, so I thought I would add them on here.  We set up a kiddie pool on the deck and Alden would love to go out there and sit and play in the water several times a day.  Here are a few pictures of us having some fun in the sun!

Sawyer joined us

Also, since Bennett is about to leave to go on a mission at the end of this month we are trying to do things together that he has wanted to do for a while.  One item on that list was going to the Andretti race track center to race on the go-karts.  You had 8 minutes to do as many laps as you could and there were 11 of us on the track together.  I, of course, came in dead last.  Apparently I become very cautious when racing :)  Patrick took 7th and Bennett and Sawyer came in 9th and 10th.  Everyone we were racing was really into it.  I think we'd do better if we did it a second time and if there weren't as many people on the track.  Everyone kept running into each other.  But all in all it was a fun time and we were glad we did it.

Here we are before the race

Underneath the helmets we had to wear these helmet "socks"

Dad didn't even race, but he figures he would have come in 1st!
