The Track

No trip to Branson would be complete for Sam without a visit to The Track.  The Track is actually the name of four different entertainment areas on the strip where you can ride go carts, mini golf, ride bumper boats, etc.  We headed back to the same track we visited a few years ago because they had a new go cart track called the Heavy Metal High Rise and Sam was really wanting to give it a try.  I don't know what I am going to do with that boy when he turns sixteen with his love of driving things quickly. 
They started off the evening on the older go cart track with Sam driving and John driving Ella.  They had a good time racing but were ready for the new adventure.  While I took Ella to drive her own "kiddie" go cart the boys headed to the high rise.  Sam was barely tall enough but he made it and both boys were excited as they waited in line.  Ella was a little daredevil on her track as well trying to catch and pass the other girl driving.  When she got done we watched the boys speed around their track.  Those things actually go pretty fast and John said on one of the hills you could actually get some air.  

We finished off our track passes with Sam on the older go carts again while Ella and I rode the bumper cars.  Then it was some Andy's custard to finish a good evening.
