We went to the Mid Ohio Sports Car Course yesterday to watch the Indycar race. It was a hot, humid day and one of the first ones we've had in a while this summer. We sat in a section called Thunder Valley under some nice trees to shade us from the sun. This is also a good family friendly area and we had some birthday cake from the people next to us celebrating at the track. The kids all had a great time and found that the dirt at Mid-Ohio is a lot of fun.
Max also enjoyed getting to see his dream car, a Dodge Viper in the parking lot. The one he wants will have a white racing stripe down the middle but this one will work for now.
Mid-Ohio puts on a great event and the kids all got to control a missle launcher on a National Guard Humvee. Better not make them mad now that they know how to control this!
We now have a new race fan, too. Veronica loves Tony Kanaan now and every time his car went by she shouted "TONY!" When she didn't see his car, she'd shrug her shoulders and look at us and say "Tony?!" It was super cute. You can see Tony's car in the upper right of the picture - it is green and white so blends in with the leaves.
Everyone had a good time but was whipped at the end of the day. We stopped at a local church's youth group corn stand and picked up some sweet corn for dinner. Mmmm, mmmm, good.
On a more serious note, we are praying for the people on the east coast of China who are being hammered by the typhoon. We've seen quite a few referrals from Fujian province and see that they are evacuating almost 1 million people.
We will be meeting with Therese tomorrow so hope to get our home study visit scheduled and knocked out.
