It was nice to be back in town for a whole week. We got to catch up with some friends we haven't seen...and as always finding lots of random things to keep us busy.
We got in some pool time with several other teachers and their kids. We are "pool hoppers" in the summer without our own neighborhood pool... and appreciate all the people that host us and keep us swimming:)
We checked out Family Night at the racetrack where these superstars gave their best driver poses (or if you're Tinley- you just pose anyway you want!)
And we just couldn't be good fans without a checkered flag. It is really amazing that no one's eyes got poked out from the vigorous waving.
And here is our true race fan with her Danica Patrick pink outfit all pulled up trying to keep cool and her headphones on to block the noise (and only cheering for pink cars).
We had a new experience at Carowinds- where they had Pirate Island in the waterpark.
Raise the flag and get a treasure map- our kind of fun!
And better yet...we actually got pirate gear as our treasure!
Water fun!
The Ogden family helped the little kids to ride their rides...
And let us big kids have fun too! That added some excitement for me:)
Can't get out without a character sighting!
And of course, one of our favorite traditions...dress like a cow for free chicken!
This year we went with some sweet first time cows...and had lots of cow sightings from our friends. We are happy everyone is joining in the fun!
And did I mention we went for breakfast and dinner this year...We didn't want Brandon to miss out on the fun. He loves dressing up;)
