What a day! It started with Drew and I getting up at 5:30 to go out to another exotic car meet this morning. I took my M Roadster and Drew took his Viper of course. Judy came over and babysat Addison for a little while, and it was so nice to get out alone with Drew. Sounds like she enjoyed spending the morning with the baby too. 
Last month, they were raising money at the meet for a little boy who is fighting Cancer. Drew heard his favorite car was the Viper so he went.(see video in old post below). Noah wasn't able to make it, as his Chemo had run over into that weekend. We got a message that this month they had rescheduled his Chemo so he could be there. We also heard there was a Viper day at a nearby track, which meant most of them wouldn't be in attendance - So we had to go. We thought it would be terrible if little Noah postponed his chemo and then didn't have any Vipers show up.
This little boy and his family were AMAZING. I just don't know where people find strength like that. He is nine years old and has been fighting cancer since he was five. It just keeps coming back, starting in his skull, going to one lung, then the other and now it's back in his skull. A family friend told me she hadn't seen him smile as much as he was this morning in a very long time.
Drew took him for a spin in the Viper of course and when asked how fast it was, he stated, "It's faster than the pink roller coaster at Knott's Berry Farm!" Ha Ha. I told Drew that from now on, whenever people ask him how fast the Viper is, that has to be his response.
So the morning was nice and then this afternoon our friends Ryan and Meichelle had a birthday party for their daughter Irelyn. She was turning 4 and celebrating with a my little pony themed party. Much to everyone's surprise, real ponies showed up out front, along with a mini petting zoo with a very cute miniature goat and some bunnies. We had a blast, and at 5 months old, Addison went for her first pony ride!
After the party, Ryan and Drew went for a mountain bike ride, and Meichelle and I hung out with our kids. Addison and their son Declan, who is 2 months younger than Addison, ended up cuddling on the couch. It was cute until she decided to start sucking on his head.
Needless to say, we are all pretty tuckered out at the end of this fun day! Drew and Addison are already passed out, and I'm going to join them now.
