Here we are at the pumpkin patch for Jacob's school. It was quite the fun place. We don't get out that much, but from what I've seen and read there are these places EVERYWHERE! They had those blow up bouncer things, animals, hayride, tons of places to run and explore - it was a fun day. And it was actually a little chilly - thus the children in the jackets. It was the first time we had to wear coats.
That is Jacob and Madelyn waaaaay up there. I want to buy one of these for the backyard. It is the best energy using, tire the kids out thing I've even seen!Then we went and saw the real live Thomas. The kids LOVED it of course. It was in South East Texas and it was beautiful, the people were a little thick accented - it was an experience!
They even had a little petting zoo there. Every time Madelyn turned around this little goat was right next to her. It kept scaring her. Barry and I were laughing soooo hard. You can see her giving it the 'eye'.
Uncle Greg is here for a visit and we are LOVING it and HIM! (Still need to get a picture to insert here!) We did the funnest thing today. We went to Texas Motor Speedway and took the tour. For EIGHT whole dollars we got to tour the whole stadium, see a luxury suite, go on Victory Lane and WE GOT TO DO A COUPLE LAPS ON THE ACTUAL TRACK! It was a hoot!!! The kids were laughing their heads off. We went about 80 miles per hour (no, we didn't get to drive - the tour girl did! She did awesome) I could NOT imagine driving at close to 200 mph. It was fun fun fun! I actually would like to go back again already.......hmmmm
There is a race here next Sunday - so here is Victory Lane.
The start/finish line is right behind the kids.
The pictures just don't do the track justice. It is a 24 degree incline for the corners. It felt like the van we were in was going to tip over.
This is Pit Row. Jacob loves #43 and he said - if I worked for #43, I'd have to jump over that wall and work on his car.
You can still see the peel-out circles from past winners. This was the view from one of the suites. Pretty nice - only $100,000 per year and you have to own it for 3 years. Anyone want to go in and buy one with us??

I can just see my kids there loving it too. I love that I say your kids still outside in shorts what is that about. Don't rub in the great weather that you have out there. How is the workouts going?
I love the bathroom floor and it looks huge in the picture, how lucky to have such a beautiful house. I miss you guys talk to you soon.
Is that pumpkin patch in Flower Mound? Brogan's class went to one up there the other day and it looked remarkably familiar.
My husband actually does business with NASCAR and goes to several of the races each year. In the pits, in the garages, behind the scenes. I'm sure if I dug NASCAR... I'd think it was fabulous too.
For all the work he does with them, I never knew there was a tour at that track. Odd ;)
Oh and HOW are you finding these places?!?! I've lived here for 8 years and I've never heard of this Thomas the Train thing - tell me more! Where is it? Out by Tyler?
I have two free tickets to the race Sunday ... want them?
