Saturday was NOT a drag

We went on quite the family adventure on Saturday.  We drove into Virginia to meet our friends, the Spencers, at Brian's family farm.  The day was gorgeous, not a cloud in the sky.  Patrick and Finnegan immediately went exploring in the woods with Brian and Gill.  While Sully and Liliana tried to chase after them and then settled on planting a rock garden!
Everyone gathered for lunch, courtesy of Johanna and Granny Jo.  
After, we went down to visit the cows, see the river and climb on some tractors!
You'd think the day couldn't get any better, but you'd be wrong!  We all piled in the car and followed the Spencers to the DRAG RACES!  That's right, ear plugs and all, our boys got to see their first real drag races, up close and personal!
The cars went fast and were super loud - the guys LOVED IT!
Brian knew one of the families, and we all got to see the car and meet the driver.
Patrick and Finn gave the driver hi-fives before his next race, while Sullivan tried to convince LaLa she did not need to be one of those girls that models on the hoods of cars!
Finnegan was so excited, he could hardly stand it, 
as he watched his now favorite race car go to the starting line.
Go! Go! Go!
What a fantastic day!  
So grateful to Jo and Brian for including us - it was fantastic!
