For their birthday this year the twins picked to have a superhero party with just family instead of having friends over to celebrate. We had a great Batman vs Superman marbled cake and opened presents with just family. We ate a quick lunch and then headed down to Branson at their requests to ride go karts!
I love go karts. I grew up riding them on every family vacation and actually had a couple of parties in Branson where we did this exact thing! Brandon on the other hand, doesn't really care for go karts. I tried and tried when we were dating to get him to like them, but no couldn't get him to really care for them. And since none of the boys had ever ridden a go kart, I didn't really know how this day was going to go.
As soon as we parked the car, the boys were screaming woo hoo!! They jumped out of their seats and ran into the building. We had to measure to make sure they were all tall enough and figure out who would ride with who. Lincoln and I went together on the first round, my dad and Greyson rode together, and Brandon's dad and Daniel rode together. While Lincoln was a little scared to go too fast, they all loved it so much, that we upgraded from the regular track, to the multi-teired "Rockin' Track". It was a three story track. This momma was a little scared letting her babies go in the faster cars, but they LOVED IT!
After leaving the HOT racetrack, my mom had to return something at a local outlet mall. This outlet mall also has a Coach purse store, which my mother in law really wanted to go in. So we stopped off for a few quick minutes of shopping. Brandon had gotten stung by a bee while on the go karts, so once I knew that my parents knew how to get back on the highway we headed back home. After a few minutes of resting, we loaded back into the car with Brandon's parents, and headed to dinner at a local mexican restaurant. After dinner we went home and played outside with some of the new toys the boys had gotten earlier in the day. The grown ups stayed up and watched a movie while the kiddo's went to bed.
The next morning, Jeff and Carol headed out early for their drive back to St Louis. And we headed to church. We did a simple lunch at McAlister's, and headed home for naps!!!It was so nice to relax. We had such a great weekend, but it becomes such a whirlwind trying to cram everything in. So next year we are celebrating on different weekends. That way I can can enjoy every minute, and not be so exhausted!
