Some Crazy Redneck Fun

Have you ever heard of lawnmower racing? Up until not too long ago, I'd never heard of it either. But this past weekend, I was invited to go to the lawnmower races in Avon Park.

My good friends, Suhzon and Corky who live in Sebring, invited Aidan and I to go with them to the races. They'd been before to watch a friend of their's (and fellow geocacher) race his mower and thought I'd enjoy it. I'd read about it in a magazine and it sounded like fun, so we met up with them Saturday evening to head over to Avon Park.

There were quite a few people there... bleachers, hotdogs and the sound of motors racing! Did you know there are different classes of mowers? I knew there were push mowers and riding mowers, but that's about it. These mowers are incredible!

I asked Dave how fast his mower goes, and he said, "On the highway or on the track?"

Are you serious??? "Okaaay", I said "...on the highway."

"74."

Oh. My. God.

"And between 38-40mph on the track."

Dave won first place in his class and gave his trophy to Aidan. How cool is that?

This is his 74 mph mower. (Heh, and I am happy with my new motorless reel mower!)

It was a fun night. Just some crazy redneck fun and I can't wait to see more!

Happy Easter!

This morning Aidan was complaining of a tummy ache.

Me: Maybe you're hungry!

Aidan: No, my tummy is just full of love! It's full of love for everyone!

Is that cute or what?

Happy Easter, everyone! And if you get a tummy ache, I hope it's from too much love, not too many Cadbury Eggs!

Everything Old is New Again

Ok, well not everything, but somethings...like my brand new lawnmower.

No gas needed, no air filters to get clogged, no need to check the oil and no noise! I LOVE IT!!!
