You never know when you'll get to ride an elephant (or go to the races)

You just never know when you wake up if you'll be doing something unexpected.  Joe called me Friday morning to see if we wanted to use tickets for a suite at the Atlanta Motor Speedway to watch the qualifying on Friday night for Sunday's Nascar race, compliments of Yancey Bros. and Caterpillar (thanks guys!).  I said "yes" as my brain fast forwarded through what I needed to do to get ready, when we would leave, what we will eat.....

It was our first time to this racetrack and we had a fun night.  We got to catch up with some old friends, visit with new friends,  and of course watch the cars zoom by!

Every time a car went by, Andy said, "whoa."

We were in a building with a suite right on the track overlooking turn 3.

George decided the cars sounded like thunder and he did NOT like how loud it was outside.

Everyone is covering up their ears and this was only one car going by.

Zack's baseball opening day was on Saturday.  The weather cooperated with sunshine and temps. in the 50's.  They have a team parade in the morning where they announce the team and each child's name as the kids walk around the ball field.  His first game with the Dodgers was that afternoon, a pre-season game.  Yes, pre-season games in t-ball, who knew.  The Dodgers played well and won.  At this age level, they coach pitch the first two pitches to each hitter and then give them the tee for the third pitch if they haven't hit the ball and you can strike out.  Zack went 3-3 and made some nice plays at second base.  He threw out two guys at first base, yay Zack! 



Joe took Zack to see the motorcross races last weekend at the Georgia Dome.  Racecars and motorcycles, what a life!
