What a beautiful sunshiny day today!!!

Frank came over this afternoon, and we met some friends of his over at the Jackson Speedway, a go-cart track.

The Speedway was having an "open house" with free go-cart rides, stock car rides, and the Mongoose Monster Truck. The truck sat up to 13 people on bench seats (padded, thankfully).  The line was long, but after about 20 minutes it was our turn.

Geesh--we squealed and held on as the driver went over very large dirt mounds, spun in circles (felt like the speed boat), and bounced over the uneven ground. Kind of fun!

Next, we got in line for the stock car ride.  One at a time, finally our turn. Each of the two kids--6 and 9 years old--went, then Frank went.  He thought that was pretty fun, too.

The go-cart line was really long and not moving very quickly, and the family was ready to get food.

So we all went to a restaurant and ate and visited.  Another of Frank's friends joined us, so he and I stayed (quite a while) longer.

It was a great way to spend Frank's birthday afternoon.

Tomorrow I've got a couple errands to do.

Thank you for reading. Hugs.
