The summer break is officially over. But just prior to school starting for the kids we tried to jam in a few more fun activities.
I had the opportunity to go to Miller Sports Park and race a souped up Mustang. I and eight other drivers took turns leading the pack at which we could go as fast as we were comfortable driving. I was hitting about 105 mph on the straights and about 90 mph on the turns. Pretty scary at first but quite exhilarating by the time we finished. We drove for about 45 minutes but it seemed to go by pretty quick. The last 3 laps we were able to sit as a passenger with a professional at the wheel and he opened it up. We were going as fast as 120 mph, what a rush.
We also had the opportunity to take Makel and Kirsten to the Cheryl Crow/James Blunt concert. It was fun to see the girls swoon when James Blunt started singing and the girls made fun of me drooling over Cheryl. Needless to say we had a great time listening to some great music. (sorry the pics don't tell the real story)
And Finally, we took the family to St George and did some back to school shopping, swimming and we went and saw Les Miserables at Tuacahn. We all had a great time but to be honest the kids are always singing their favorite "Les Mis" tunes and it is getting annoying. We will see how much they will be singing when all that homework starts rolling in. But until then you can probably guess who is the miserable one.
