Last weekend we went to see Pole Day for the Indy 500. We used to follow the race the whole month of May when we lived in Indy (and quite frankly they just don't cover it properly in the national news so it's not the same outside Indy), and we went to time trials and even the race a couple times. So we met up with my parents at the track.
The weather could have been a bit better. We were under threat of rain the whole day, but thankfully it didn't rain until the end of the day. We sat right across from the start/finish line for awhile, but it was a little too loud for Chi.
Gabe claims it was his favorite part, but even he seemed to struggle with the noise a bit.
So we moved to turn four for the rest of the afternoon. Boys boys seemed more comfortable there. Plus Grandma bought them huge ice cream cones, so of course they were happy that afternoon. :)
All in all it was a nice day. We plan to show them the race on TV this weekend and see what they think of it now that they saw the track and cars in person.
P.S. Many of you know that we lived in Joplin. Thankfully our friends are safe, but unfortunately they have lost their home. The whole neighborhood we lived in is gone. It will take a long time to recover. Please help in anyway you can. ELCA Disaster Response is an excellent place to make a donation. 100% of your contribution goes to helping those effected by these destructive storms.
