We've had the busiest weekend! Normally, we're low key around here and are pretty much homebodies. However, this weekend, we went all out! Josh and I had been talking about taking Ty to the dirt track races for most of the summer and had never made it there until this weekend. We planned ahead and made sure to bring the ear protection - Ty loves race cars, but hates LOUD stuff. It's funny in a way cause everything he loves is loud, but he hates the noise of it all. So, the headphones come on and he goes out.
Anywho, I'd never been to the races (dirt track) either, and was SO excited! We had a great time and I shot a TON of photos. It was great practice for me to try shooting at such high speeds. We're totally ready for the monster trucks and tractor pulls to come to town!
Here are a few of the shots I got. Don't expect miracles. Like I said...just practice shots!
Ty looks so frozen and scared in all the photos, doesn't he... but I promise - that's all he's talked about since Friday night - when are we goin' back, mom!!
Ooh, I love the smell of the dirt track! The last time I went to the local track, Tony Stewart showed up and raced with the local guys! It was quite a thrill.
Love your pictures!!
