I know, I know...I have been slackin' on keeping up the blog. Not sure where the time is going these days. Niclas turned six on 5/13 which was a Tuesday so we had a nice family pizza dinner...something mellow for a school night. For the real party, Niclas decided he wanted to go race cars at the indoor go-kart track. It worked out great as his cousins Jacob and Tyler were up from California that weekend so they were able to go to. Quentin and Carlin came over from Yakima plus Niclas' friends Miles and Brady rounded out the group of boys. Unfortunatly, another friend Anthony got pink eye the day before so he wasn't able to go. Of course Sophia and Austin were there along with Miles' sister Ava. All together, a fun bunch of kids. I found an indoor go-kart track close by that had a kids track that younger kids could drive on. They all put on their race suits and helmets and hit the track. The hit lots of other things too, mainly the walls and each other. It was fun to watch them figure out their way around the track. The first few laps they struggled with controlling the cars and mostly crashed into the walls. But after a few laps, you could seem them dial it in. There was a lot of rubbin' but as they say...rubbin's racin'! They all got two track sessions and then we had cake and ice cream in the party room. All in all, a pretty successful party. Even the adults had a chance to race on the big track after the party was over. We just might have to go back next year, if not sooner.
