Fathers Day @ Brands Hatch

Before I get into the exploits of our Fathers Day the latest hot news about Brandon is that his first tooth is coming through. The top right is clearly visible which explains all the dribbling, crying and fingers in the mouth over the last week. If only the poor fellow new he had to go through this many more times yet!!!

So onto Fathers Day. Well I am pleased to report that my boys took the hints well and raided their money boxes to buy their Dad the UFC game on the PS3 - result!!!! In return I took them out for the day to Brands Hatch to watch some motor racing. My friend from work, Alex, was racing there again in the kit car championship.

The MAD racing crew kindly let Joshua play in "Kermit" the race car. But boy did we have some temper tantrums when it was time to get him out. Of course then Joshua seemed to think that the paddock was Toys R Us and that he could just hop in and out of all the race cars. Needless to say we had our hands full with the little guy. He went dashing over to every race car in the paddock shouting "brum brum" and signalling to be lifted inside!

"Brum, brum"

Brandon tried to get in on the action but Joshua was not sharing the drivers seat one little bit.

He even tried climbing in "Dukes of Hazard" style only to be pushed away by his bigger brother.

Could this be a future race car champion in the making????? Nice ten to two hand position on the steering wheel.

A nice picture of Mummy with Brandon. The little guy was a bit confused at the noise of the Formula 4 cars going around the track.

Daddy and Brandon overlooking the paddock bend during one of the many races of the day.

Back at the grand stand Joshua had space to run around a bit and watch the cars tear down the main straight.

As usual he also made some new friends - the little guy will just chat to anyone and everyone.

Here is Joshua watching the kit car race with Alex's little boy, Oliver.

At the end of the day it was time for some ice cream. Joshua managed to get this absolutely everywhere. I think it blended in nicely with all the grease and dirt he had picked up from playing around the race cars!

Anybody would think he was about to have a shave give all the white stuff around his mouth. Still he looks happy. Once finished with the ice cream Joshua found it amusing to flick it from side to side further covering himself, me and Tina.
