Happy Holly Days!!

The city of Vernal has started having a little thing they like to call Holly Days. It takes place the day after Thanksgiving. They have events all day, all over the city. The best part....IT'S TOTALLY FREE!!!!!! So we cannot pass up free! I don't think we have ever in our lives passed up free, unless it was a free punch in the face or something. We piled the kids in the car and off we went. We decided to go to Western Park where they were have a midway type thing. Games, those blow up Jolly Jumpers, cotton candy and churros. Awesome right? All of it was totally free and they were giving prizes and everything. It was cool. We started off getting cotton candy. Then the kids decided to try the go-carts (pictured above). Luke was the first one on. I know you are saying to yourself "Kati, why are you letting Luke go on this go-cart?" in a shocked kind of voice. I will reply by saying something like "I don't think they go that fast." Or "Luke rarely gets so excited about going on any type of thing like this so why not." After explaining how it works, thumb of right hand presses button to go and speed up. Left hand handle controls the brake. In the middle of trying to make sure he understands....OFF HE GOES!!!! He was doing great and was on the track and everything for about 2 SECONDS!! He kept speeding up and then didn't know what to do with the steering wheel and WHAM!!!! Into the wall he went. All of us were in shock it happened so fast. It cracked the wood on the wall. Don't worry he is fine. He got a bruise on his leg and pinched his thumb. I think his bones are made out of stone. Of course we sat down so he could recover. After about 5 minutes he was ready to try the games. What a kid!! He describes his crash this way:
