Figure 8 races + school buses = AWESOME!

I love me some school bus figure 8 races!  I have been once before with a friend and remember it being a good time.  Taking my kids there was awesome.   Crissy and Derek were the ones to tip us off that they were happening tonight and they asked us to join them.  All of the kids were greeted with a yellow drawstring backpack saying Sportsdrom Figure 8 donated by some screen printing company and they wore them proudly.  They carried their snacks I smuggled in inside.  That is until Addison dropped her water bottle through the bleachers.  Then Anthony dropped his water bottle cap through the bleachers.  Then Victoria dropped her whole bag through the bleachers. :)  Anthony sat next to me and his eyes scanned the track.  The moment he understood that we would be watching racing was priceless!  His little face lit up fists went into the air and a big "YES!" came out.  The cars came out, Anthony's face got a little brighter. They circled the track under the yellow flag and when the green flag hit and the engines reved up Anthony's eyebrows went down and his hands smacked down on those tiny kneecaps and it was GAME ON for him.  Such a fun night!
