Offroad Adventures

Uncle James (Bob's brother) suggested that we go to the West Michigan Offroad this weekend. It's like a demolition derby in the mud. Unfortunately the forecast for Saturday evening was pretty bleak, 60% chance of rain. We decided to chance it and headed out anyway. We saw a few races with just a light sprinkling and then it started raining for real. We brought our umbrellas and toughed it out for several races. Abigail really enjoyed the powderpuff races and the boys thought it was super cool when one car flipped over! By the time we were ready to leave most of us were soaked and Joshua had been standing so close that he even got splattered by some mud from the cars (I learned that this is very cool to a 7 year old boy, he didn't want to wash it off)! The kids seemed to enjoy it even in the rain and I suppose it was extra good because the rain was creating a super muddy track. I think I would go again...just not in the rain.
