Daddy is always winning something from our local radio stations, and this week he won weekend passes to the Portland Raceway to see the Le Mans Grand Prix! Ryan was very excited to see the races. It was incredibly hot (track temp of 112 degrees!), and pretty loud too. He especially enjoyed the paddock area (Ed won passes to that too) because he got to get up close to the cars and even touch them and sit in some. The racing staff were really great to the kids and several offered to let the kids sit in the race cars. Ryan wasn't quite brave enough the first time he was offered, but after seeing his little sister sit in it and survive and enjoy it, he sat in the next one!
Strangely enough, when asked what his favorite thing of the day was he said it was the military vechicles. There was a National Guard unit there with several Humvees and trucks on display, and Ryan was enamored with the medic truck especially.
