Our busy weekend!

This past Saturday, Larson Allen held their summer party at the North Central Speedway in Brainerd. We gathered together at the speedway on Saturday afternoon for games and a picnic before the races.

Children were also invited to attend - and ours had a great time!

Here, Halle sits with her new friend, Alaina...

Game time! First up: Kick the ball...

Followed by the water balloon toss...
It's finally time to head inside for the races...
Brendan poses outside the speedway with a very special race car (it's driver suffered a heart attack after his heat race the previous week - he survived and his friends and family held a benefit during the race on Saturday night to help defray medical costs)...
Inside the air conditioned booth, watching the cars race by!
It was "Kid's Night" and each child received a checkered flag...
Here they come!

Because it was Kid's Night at the Speedway, following the heat races the driver's lined up on the finish line and the children (and parents) were invited to come down and meet the drivers and get pictures and autographs signed. It was such fun!
One of the driver's even let Brendan sit in his car! Wow!
And to make a great day even better, Brendan was one of the lucky kids to win a brand-new bicycle during intermission!
What a great day!
