ZOOM!

On Tuesday we went to the Indianapolis motor speedway! Actually, I've never been a big fan but I had a lot of fun. It is definitely more interesting in person!! We were lucky enough to catch some of the drives testing their tires and getting ready for their next big race! Emma loved it and was totally thrilled each time a car went flying by. She would follow the car with her finger and yell "ZOOM!" Then after they were out of sight she would look at me and do the "more" sign with her hands and ask for "mo-mo." I love that she thinks I have that kind of power :)

The drivers. Even though I learned their names I couldn't
pick them out of a crowd and I still get confused on their numbers :)

At first she wasn't sure about the noise even though
her freaky looking baby was enjoying the show..
..but then she became an expert at spotting race cars
Emma ate some trail mix with her "nanny"
(mostly M&Ms)
and climbed the hill with her "Bubba"




Yes, that's right folks. Take it allll in. This is what any
true NASCAR fan should look like after watching a race :)
(and yes, I did just have to google to make sure I was spelling
NASCAR right...baby steps)
