A drive around the track

This is Rob. I had the opportunity to go to Palmer Sports in Bedford England. They have a race track with real race cars. We drove 2 F1 style cars as well as Caterham Superlights, Karts, and an off road experience in Defenders. There were some very good drivers there. The best part of the day for me was driving the 2 seater F1 car with an instructor. They would talk to you on an intercom system and really tell you to push the car. It was a blast! Here is a video of one lap of me driving the car. The best is the end....watch and see!



After the drive with the instructor, they put you in a single seater where it is just you and the track. It was scary! Here is a picture of the master driver (me) at work.



I didn't place in the overall standings, but it was a fun day!

Whew

Sorry for the lack of posting. I have a lot to post about...a great trip to San Francisco with some of my favorite ladies, a great day in London with some more of my favorite ladies, and of course leaving London, and all that jazz. But...the only pics I have are the ones I have taken since we have been in Colorado so here is an update at least of our happenings here.

We ran the Bolder Boulder on Memorial Day. It is a 10k road race that is full of crazy people dressed as gorillas and fairies and racing in their underwear. I got really crazy and wore my BYU t-shirt. The boys met us at the finish line. Here is Easton in his "Run, Mommy, Run" gear that my aunt and cousin made him, with Stephen and Amy. (And that's my cute cousin-in-law, Joelle, next to Amy).



We have been eating outside lots...which I love.


My dad takes the boys to get donuts a lot. Since we are going to be here so long this summer we have had to limit it to a Saturday tradition.


Easton is apparently allergic to Amy and Stephen's dog, Annie. Look at those sad eyes!


These horses belong to my dad and Nancy's neighbors but graze in our pasture. The kids love them. The boys with Nancy:


We have also been doing a good amount of gardening, worm hunting, and lettuce picking.


We are having a lot of fun but we all miss Rob...we'll see him for a long weekend in 10 days! Sorry if I'm a little hard to get ahold of these days as well...I am never online (I used to ALWAYS be online) and don't have a real cell phone.
And, do I need to change our blog title again? Maybe "the Airds" would suffice?
