Hello Racetrack!

Peyton took his first (and only) lap around the racetrack today!!! Last week I did a little research on the racetracks at Frankie's and turns out they have a rookie track that you can ride at age 4! We've been talking it up to Peyton since last week and he was so excited to go and drive his race car today! He was super excited until it was time to actually get in the car. He wanted Trey to go out there with him but the worker guy wouldn't let Trey. We managed to get Peyton to go to the car. He got in, was buckled and then set free to go. You could see the fear in his eyes! He actually did go and made it 3/4 of the way around the lap when his car stalled. The worker went and started it back but by that point, he was done. He made his final round and rammed into the cars around him and wanted out. We told the guy to just let him out. We praised him and congratulated him and once he got back to us, he wanted to go again. We decided to head over to the double cars this time just to make sure he had some good riding experience in. The first time we went, Peyton rode with Trey. Nolan was in my car. At the end of lap one, Nolan was screaming. At the end of that lap we pulled in and waited for daddy and Peyton. Later after we played some games, and then went back to the track. This time, Peyton rode with me. We had a blast. Nolan refused to ride this time so he and daddy went back into "mash buttons." We came home and gave the boys a gift each. Yes, it was Peyton's birthday but when you have two boys and one gets a gift, it doesn't work so well for the other. So, to alleviate a headache we got a small gift for Nolan and something a little nicer for Peyton. Of course, he is getting his real gift in two weeks at the party. But a Lightning McQueen car today was just perfect!
