Family Fun!

On New Year's Eve, went to K1 Speedway with my sister's and families and went race car driving. So I was kindof a skeptic, not so sure about driving little cars 45mph around an indoor track. I was so wrong. This was one of the most fun activities we've done in a long time. We did a series of races, the first practice, the second qualifing and the third was an actual serious race, complete with trophies. We had a blast. Jason was super good, placing in 2nd (his trophy is proudly displayed in our home.) I took a little bit to catch on, had a few little accidents but in the end I did pretty well too. Despite a few spinouts and run-ins we all walked away whole and healthy, with some very fun memories.
Can't say much for the less-fashionable hoodies worn under the helmet, but I guess they do they job.

Jason, ready to go.
The complete look!
