Go Karts and Shelby Farms

Rather than having a big birthday party, Ben wanted to go to the Autobahn Indoor Speedway, an indoor go kart track with electric karts that can go up to 50 mph.  You have to be 8 to drive so we had to wait until after his birthday.  Last Saturday he had a morning soccer game and afternoon baseball practice.  We decided to make a mid-week trip.  When we got there, there were no other kids (not surprising) so he made a couple of runs around the track by himself. Amazingly, another kid arrived and he got to race.

 Waiting for his second turn.  There were a couple of adults who were racing, too.

 Headed out on the track for his second run.

 He got beat in the race.

 Helmet hair.

 We were just a couple of miles from a cool park I had been wanting to visit so we had a picnic lunch at Shelby Farms.

When we got home, there was mail for Annie, awesome new throw pillows made by Nana.
