Racin' Birthday Party!

We always struggle to figure out where to have Caden's birthday party every year. We've had it at the park by our house a couple of times and once at our house. This year was a no brainer though!  It was just a matter of getting permission and thanks to my dad who works there, that was no problem!  We decided to have Caden's 4th birthday party at the RCR race shop. 

Caden was absolutely tickled about it too.  He was so excited and he told EVERYONE that he was having his party at Kevin Harvicks race shop!  The big day finally came and he had a blast.  Lots of friends and family came.  My dad arranged for the museum and gift shop to stay open an extra hour just for us to take all the guests for a tour.  Everyone loved it!  Then we went back to the breakroom of the shop where we had cake and ice cream.  (Fancy Pastry cake.....YUUMMMM!)  Lastly, paw paw took everyone for a tour of the actual shop where the cars are built.  They got to see all the stages a race car goes through before the body goes on and paint and stickers get applied. .  I think the dads that were there enjoyed it as much as the kids did!  Overall it was a great day!

This is the cake table and Caden was getting ready to come in.

The best cake in the world from Fancy Pastry.  That's Kevin Harvick getting ready to take the checkered flag and Jeff Burton coming in second with Clint Boyer following in third!  Those are all Childress cars so those are the ones Caden likes!

Making a wish and blowing out the candles!

Caden, daddy and paw paw as we were getting ready to tour the museum.  This is where they keep all of Dale Earnhardt's stuff too.  I was not a fan but Scottie sure was.

The car that Kevin Harvick won the Daytona 500 in.  Just a little roughed up on the side!

Dale Earnhardt old car hauler.  The car goes up on top and there is a whole kitchen, bathroom and sitting area on the inside.  That is Mimi in the green shirt and the side of granny's face!

The front of the car hauler with lots of kids running everywhere!

Had to throw in a picture of this cute face too!  His paw paw was giving him a taste of vanilla ice cream and he was loving it!

(Isn't his shirt cute!?!  It says Mommy + Daddy = ME)
