So it's been almost a month since our little excursion, but nevertheless here's the down low :) Adam and I went to Buchanan, Michigan to go to RedBud which is a motorcross race! We left Friday night as soon as I got off work and began our 5 hour long road trip after we dropped Bubby off at Grani Jani's where Auntie Lish would pick him up later! We were a little nervous because our friends left a couple hours before us and we were unsure if we would be able to park next to them...you camp all weekend :)...ti would have been a bummer to not be anywhere close to them! However, they were able to get our tickets AND save us a spot right behind them with their tents, our fire pit, and their bags set right in between. We did not have a need for a tent because our truck has a carpeted bed with a topper and our air mattress fit perfectly in there! The windows on the topper are screened so sleep was awesome!!
Saturday started out like this....all ready for the big day of racing and fun with lots excitement and enthusiasm!! There is little shade which combined with thousands of people, you have no shade and really not one place to sit because the track is very large and in order to see all that is going on, you walk around pretty much the entire time...unless you find a perfect spot that, with a turn of the head and a lean of the torso, you can see just about the entire track--not our luck! Nonetheless, we were ready and excited!!
Walking up to the track, there were several vendors selling clothing and other race apparel and lots of food!! We got Bubby's his 1st official RedBud 2011 t-shirt!
Looking up one hill...
Still in good spirits even though I've started sweating in all the wrong places and my back hurts because there is nowhere to sit down!
These are just a couple of pictures to show exactly how many people there were...these are the camp grounds and there are still hundreds more people who don't even camp...
And this would have been the key that someone had a little too much fun before the night even came!!
Needless to say...I'm the smart one :)
We were SO excited to head back home the next day to see our little baby boy!! We could tell he was just as excited to see us when we pull up and he yells "DOG-EE DOG-EE" and totally averts us to go see the pups...glad we were missed so much :)
