Aidan has been riding motocross since he was just a little guy. I have seen photos and heard about his races for several years now but I have never had a chance to actually see him in action till this trip. With a little bit of fear in my heart, I went out to the track in Clyde to watch him practice on a Saturday before a big race the next day. Hard to believe our baby boy is now 9 years old!
Still Gigi's sweet boy! ("Get off, Gigi, get off!" is probably what he's thinking, but he is too sweet to say it out loud!)

Day Two: Race Day! Susan and Corey bought me a shirt with Aidan's number on it. Here we are, proud Mama and Gigi!

Wowie! Look at that jump!
Go, Aidan, go!

There was also a pro class. These riders were CA-RA-ZY! Wow!

Unfortunately, a big storm rolled in and the rest of the race day was cancelled. Aidan was going to ride a second time but everything got shut down. Wish we could have seen him again but it was big fun to be there and get to experience a little bit of his world! He loves motocross, stays nice and calm and takes care of business out there. I wasn't as scared as I thought I would be (thank goodness for pads and helmets!) and really had a blast! Good job, Aidan! We love you bunches!
