I created a “Pit Pass” for each “driver” to give them credentials at our “race track”.

The main attraction was the BluTrack set up out back. Hard to say if it was a bigger hit with the boys or the dads.

A friend gave us an old “play town” carpet so we had some cars out to drive on that.

The little guys had fun on the slide.

We played a little “Doc Doc Lightening”.

The Raceway Drivers, sporting their Pit Pass Credentials. They seem a surly bunch in the picture, but that wasn’t really the case.

Lunch was pizza, watermelon & “Cars” cookies (teddy grahams)

The car cake! Yes, I did make it myself and I have to say, it’s the best cake I’ve done yet. (pats self on back)

Pinata time!

We thought the helmet might be a nice touch for the swinging bat action.

Our slugger.

Wendy was next.

The last event was the “race track” – kids were timed while they ran in a cardboard box car around a course Mike laid out.

Post party fun – the digger is a hit with all 3 kids.

A reluctant shot, showing off the car details.

She brings her own je ne sais quoi, n’est pas?

Adam enjoys pushing as much as riding.

Sam knows a good deal when he sees one.

Baby Bubba is hard at work… but lovin it.
