Zach and Bennett made their way to the track for Bennett's first (of many I am sure) trips to experience some portion of the famed Indianapolis 500. Since this was his first trip, we intentionally planned it for a quiet practice day to minimize crowds...it didn't disappoint. It took a little time for him to adjust to his surroundings, but he had a blast!
The smaller crowds allowed him to get up close and personal with the pit areas - which was a highlight. He also met several drivers (his favorite was Helio - who autographed the bottom of his matchbox race car), ate a hamburger and just enjoyed time with dad!
The next day at school, Bennett was so excited to "share" his experience with his teachers and classmates. Share is always a highlight for him - he takes it very seriously. After talking about his day at the race track and showing classmates some memorabilia, there is time for "comments and questions" from others in his class. The thought of calling on his friends and answering their questions makes me laugh.
