The best redneck date night





My dear friend, Kallee, is better known as my partner in crime. The problem with Kallee and I is that between the two of us, we can talk ourselves into about anything. Case in point... I found a groupon not long ago for  a great deal to the car races. Ben and I have never been, neither had the Cooks, so what better way to spend a friday night than a little Smashburger and trip to the races (it was even a surprise for the hubs). Oh, little did we know:) So, we put on our best redneck garb and headed west... well, northwest:) We had a BLAST! We were way out in the desert at a mud racetrack, we were the only people not emotionally invested in the outcomes, we were probably the only ones without a tatoo, and most definitely the only ones not smoking or boozing. We stuck out like sore thumbs (and we loved it)! The cars were so loud it made your insides pound. The ground shook. We got mud on our faces:) It was the best! We chose our cars and cheered and cheered and laughed! Anyway, it was memorable for sure, and nothing like what we expected.

  1. Were you also the only ones not wearing ear plugs or muffs? ;) Chris took Addie to one of those this summer and realized he wasn't prepared once the cars got going and the sound was LOUD.

    Also, I love that you know the Cooks! Kallee is a sweetheart and was so nice to me the last summer Chris did sales (when Addie was our baby--right before we went to KZ). We don't know them *that* well, but they are awesome people and it's nice to be able to act like we're friends. ;D
