Sack Race

I couldn't get both pictures downloaded together so I downloaded the class picture with the post.Here is the picture of my grandson participating in the sack race.

Field Day

My grandson's primary school held their PE field day on Thursday.It was scheduled for Wednesday but due to rainy weather they were able to reschedule it for Thursday.

Family and friends were invited to attend and join in the fun.Jeremy's teacher participated in the sack race and relay race with her class.It was nice to see the joy in the childrens eyes when they watched their teacher join in the fun.

The first picture is our grandson's class enjoying their lunches they brought from home.They ate before they "played".The second picture is our grandson Jeremy enjoying the sack race.Our grandson is blessed to be in a school where most class sizes are under 20 students.There are 17 students in his class.I remember back in the dark ages when I was in elementary school our classes had at least 30 students and usually more.

Lovely Flower

I took this picture of one of the flowers in one of my hanging baskets.This is a gerbera daisy.I love the color.Not sure what to call the color but whatever it is I really like it.

Went to see the Indiana Jones movie early this afternoon.The theater was quite cold.The movie was a little intense for my liking.Guess as I get older I prefer movies that are mellow and not too intense.

Around and Around We Went

Our area is having our annual Mountain Festival.Yesterday afternoon on the spur of the moment we decided to take our grandson to the carnival which is a big part of the festival.He rode most of the rides by himself.I decided to the give the Tilt A Whirl a try once again.A few years ago we went to Tweetsie Railroad amusement park in Boone NC.I rode the Tilt A Whirl with our grandson then and said I would never ride it again.I was "green" when I got off of the ride.

How fast I forget since I rode the Tilt A Whirl once again yesterday.I am once again saying never ever again.I loved that ride when I was a young girl going to carnivals but since I am now a grandmother that ride does not agree with me.My body felt like it was whirling for a couple hours after I rode the ride.My hubby rode the Scrambler yesterday with our grandson and he was also not feeling too well after that ride.Our grandson was feeling great after both rides and continued on to ride other rides.

No more Tilt A Whirl for me.We are going to Disney World in August.I will not be getting on any spinning rides.Hope I remember that in a few months!

Number 24 Race Car Simulator Hauler

This is a picture of my grandson standing beside the race car simulator hauler.

Driving Along

Here is another view of my grandson Jeremy driving the number 24 race car simulator.He looks very intent in this picture.Reminds me of some drivers I have seen on the road.

My Grandson The Race Car Driver

Thought I would take a little detour from my DC pictures and show some pictures that I took last night.

We saw in our local newspaper that a Jeff Gordon Race Car Simulator was going to be at a local car dealership.Our grandson Jeremy is a huge Jeff Gordon fan so we wanted to take him to see the race car and hauler.

To our surprise there weren't many people there.Jeremy was in the car for around 10 minutes.We have seen the same sort of thing in Pigeon Forge TN in what NASCAR CAFE(which is no longer in business).They charged quite a bit to ride the simulator so the free ride for Jeremy was quite a deal:)
