Mario Kart

We celebrated Kevin's birthday on Saturday night - Uncle Kevin turned 26!  We had a wonderful dinner at Macaroni Grill, where Ashtyn fell in love with Chante - Kevin's new girlfriend.  When I took Ashtyn to the bathroom she says to me, "Chante my best friend mommy.  Me have her over to babysit me one day?"  After dinner we headed out to do some Go Kart RACING - Whoo Hoo!  Kevin found this old dealer ship that has been transformed into an indoor racing facility.  I wasn't exactly excited about doing this - I am not the world's best driver, I actually hate driving, and I definitely got a little nervous when we had to go into training for "How to drive your go kart"...

Needless to say, I came in 8th place out of 9 drivers with a lap time of 27 seconds (I think normal is 20) - Go Jenn!  Matt came in 3rd followed by Kevin, my dad and then Chante.  It felt like we were in Mario Kart, which I played all the time with my cousins when I was younger, but playing the game was way more fun then actually driving a REAL 50 mph go kart.  I did laugh when I saw Kevin zoom by me, he looked just like Donkey Kong in his go kart!  Matt and Kevin totally made fun of me after the race - I was a very cautious driver and I kept getting the blue flag waived at me - which basically means "Get out of the way!"  Clearly, go kart racing is not my thing - but everyone else seemed to enjoy it - especially my husband!  Fun Saturday night - Happy Birthday Kevin!
