A Night at the Racetrack

We found out that Bowman Gray was having Monster Trucks and Demolition Derby in addition to the normal races. We decided that Emmett might like that, and Cam was convinced that I needed to experience Bowman Gray once. Emmett was in little boy heaven. The only bad part was that it rained a bit, but not hard enough that we had to leave. We even got to see a fight between some drivers. It was worth it to see how much E loved it!

NC Transportation Museum

We went with our friends to the Transportation Museum in Spencer, NC. It was freezing in the morning, but we had a blast. Emmett had a major meltdown in the middle, but he pulled through and enjoyed seeing all the trains and things.

They had a special deal for Halloween where they had a pumpkin patch, games, trick-or-treating, and hot chocolate for the adults! But what did the boys want to do? Play with the Thomas the Train tables. Seriously? Overall, a great experience, especially considering the fact that we had 2 two-year-olds and 3 babies!

Birthday Party

E's party was a big success. I'm so grateful for talented and willing friends who helped out! Tina Farmer took the pictures and I was able to just sit back and enjoy everything.

Here are the pictures of the party - pictures of the decorations and food are on the craft blog here: Food

Love this picture of E and Jackson

E and Sam having a blast.

The park is right across the street from train tracks, so the boys got to see a train. Love this picture!
