The weather around here has been beautiful so we decided to take it outdoors and spend some time at the Sario Speedway. For Christmas my awesome dad (AKA "Dad Dad") built the kids this push cart and dubbed it the "Sario Speeder." He brought it over to test it out with the kids only to find out that our topography wasn't quite as conducive to speeding around as he though...that is except for the GIANT hill behind our house. So, of coarse, that is the hill that Will decided to put the Sario Speedway on. Yikes. We tested it out last weekend slowly taking the kids higher and higher. This weekend the kids felt like old pros and were OK with starting right where they left off last weekend. Uh oh. The first run was a disaster. As you can see in the photo to the left, Molly froze and sped straight off the speedway (the blue lines). They hit a bump flipped in the air and landed with the cart on top of them. Will said I jinxed it by taking a photo (who knows, maybe I did!). Thankfully
they were totally fine with not even a scratch thanks to the grass. Willy was pretty much done after that. He was sure that it was too scary for him and he would have more fun watching from the sidelines with me. Molly seemed totally unfazed by the crash and was ready to try again. You can see her succeeding in the first picture of this post. She still wanted to turn the opposite way than what we recommended (wow, that just sums her up to a "T", haha), but she was concentrating hard the whole time and took the turn like a champ.
We managed to get Willy to try it again with Daddy at the helm. He was sure to wear his safety goggles and was still really nervous but he did it! Still shaken by the first crash, he was happy to end on a good note and just watch.
Molly wanted a turn with Daddy too. They made it all the way down the big hill and around to the front of the house. It was super cool.
Will made me try it too. I was seriously SO scared! My heart was pounding a million miles an hour and I screamed the whole way down. Not on purpose either. Hilarious. Molly took the photo for me on my phone.
And, of coarse, Will had to push the boundaries taking it up higher than we have ever gone before. What is it with men?
Anyway, thanks Dad. We all LOVE the Sario Speeder! :)
