Stephen got us tickets to the nascar xfinity series race in Charlotte. It was so much fun taking the boys. Everett has been to one other race but he wasn't even two years old at the time. We did learn a few things to remember for next time. Next time buy seats in the shade and bring more activities for the kids. Everett thought it was the coolest thing for about the first 15 minutes. We all got pretty hot and miserable pretty quick until we moved into the shade. Everett may or may not have thought the bus ride in the parking lot was the best part.
The entire day was a lot of fun even being soaking wet from sweat the whole time.We got home just before dark and noticed lots of fireflies in our backyard. Everett and I chased after some and played in the backyard watching them as it got dark outside. Nathan and Stephen were walking around in circles on the patio with us. It was a very magical evening. One of those lost in the perfection of life moments. At bedtime we asked Everett what his favorite part of the day was and he said watching the fireflies. I know he loved the race and had a fun time but it made my heart happy when he said his favorite part of the day was doing something so simple with his family.
