Life hasn't been THAT exciting but we did just get back from the Indy 500 race. WHAT A BLAST!!!! I was fully prepared to go and "get my redneck on"! I know your telling yourself "How can a race that goes around in a circle for 200 laps be any fun?". Well let me tell you! I thought the same thing. I told myself "Awe great, I'm going to be sitting for 4 hours in the sun to watch a bunch of people turn left at 200 miles an hour while hoping the dude behind me doesn't barf up all the beer he has been drinking". I decided that I was going to try and have fun no matter what I thought. Well..................... even before the race started 4 BIG huge guys with their cooler (ya, you can bring coolers to the race......full of beer if ya want) and I thought it was going to be trouble. They turned out to be the NICEST guys! We were high five-ing each other the whole race. After the first couple of really awesome laps I was worried that I might be bored until the final 20 when all the racers would get aggressive but OH MAN, I wasn't bored a single moment. You had racers trying to pass each other and we saw at least 4 wrecks and 1 car catch on fire where we were sitting (the middle of the 4th turn). I'm glad no one was hurt but it was like waiting for a fight watching hockey. So exciting! The racers would whip by you going around 220 miles per hour and they would make these loud buzzing sounds as they passed. Definitely a MUST SEE once in your life. I can't even do it just by explaining it at all. Here are a few pictures from the race!
Well, I don't really know how to work this stupid blog thing using Picasa so bare with me I'm blog-challenged..............
Our view looking at the third turn.
Our view looking at the rest of the fourth turn going towards the finish line straight way.
This is the wreck where the car caught on fire. He hit the wall and drove across the track to the inside. Two race cars almost hit him.
My cute in-laws that took us to the race. THANKS!! WE HAD SUCH AN AWESOME TIME!!!!
Ok, now here are just a few pictures I'm just going to upload on here. The first couple have a great story I wanted to share but procrastinated in telling it............
I had gone to get my toes painted with my mom and sisters and returned to an apartment smelling of rancid poop. As I descended the stairs I quickly noticed that no dogs were in the room so I assumed that one of them had pooped on the floor and were in the bathroom for a time-out. I started calling out to the hubby but I got no answer. Perplexed I started looking around and noticed this on the couch.
Anyhoo, here are a couple of pics from this last year.
"Chuck" fell asleep in his highchair one day. I felt so bad. I was giving him snack and I was browsing the Internet right next to him and when I looked over he was like this.
"Chuck" and his little cousin "C-man" at Halloween. As we were trick-or-treating the hubby and I thought we should have given "Chuck" some little action figure toys and made it look like blood was coming out of his mouth so he would have been Godzilla instead of a plain ol' dinosaur.
"Chuck's" first birthday.
"Chuck's" cake when he was done. HAHAHA!
Oh, and since I'm not the best of bloggers I haven't decided to do the "go private" thing yet so for now I will at least change everyone's name.
Toodles!
