Cole is really into motorcycles, riding his and watching the pros race theirs! So we decided to get tickets to the race in Seattle. At first Steven was just going to take Cole, then we decided why not take the whole family!!! We got decent seats... we had a great view of the whole track and the tickets included free pit passes. Bonus! We left home @ about 9:30am and arrived in Seattle just about noon. Paid an outrageous amount of $$ to park for the day then headed to the pit!
This is our family just before the main event!
Once the sun went down it really cooled off, so when they set off this enormous flame it felt sooo good! It instantly warmed the entire stadium!
This is the view from our seats! We watched all the warm-ups and qualifying heats too!
here is one of James Stewarts bikes! Cole and Steven had hopes of getting their posters of Chad Reed and James Stewart signed by them, but the lines were Enormously long! If only we would've stood in line instead of watching the warm-ups(4 hours) that would've been no fun. Instead we got a lot of great pictures and videos of them! Stewart walked right passed us, and Cole and him

This is the line for Chad Reed autographs. We did see him, so that was cool!
This is Reed's Mechanic's Truck and set-up area
Okay check out the dirt mover's equipment. I have to mention this... They always pre-order all of the dirt that they bring in for the track. Well... being that this is in Seattle, they figured on rain. They brought in dirt that had alot of sand in it so when it rained it would pack down and the riders would get better traction. Well... it didn't rain! So the track was super soft and falling apart. They brought in a large water truck to spray down the entire track.. and they reworked the whole thing... but it just wouldn't stay together. So these dirt mover guys had to fix the track in between each heat! Talk about alot of work! It was quite impressive how quickly they did it!
This is the start of the Main event! So cool to be right there!
The race got over at 11pm... this is the view right outside the stadium! We had a great time! FYI Stewart took 2nd, Ryan Villopoto won the race, and Reed took 7th.

It looks like you guys had a great time on both your little outings! My boys would have throughly enjoyed the Supercross Race. We've gone a couple times when they've been here at Chase Field. They love it!
Brilynn and I would have loved to see all those beautiful flowers! We are going to have to take a trip sometime and come and visit you guys!
Take Care,
