I bought tickets, 1 adult driver, 1 adult spectator, 2 child spectators. If Bennett has something to drive that's cool and I'll change his to a driver. If not he'll be fine watching or maybe taking my remote at some point.

Ava spent the weekend decorating the bronco body and practicing driving on a trail to our creek and back. She had a blast following the trail and using the tow straps when someone got stuck. I hope she likes the trails at USTE

When are y'all planning to be there Friday? Trails don't open until 1:00 and doesn't look like there's too much going on before 11:00 so we were thinking shoot for 11:00.

We haven't booked our hotel for Thursday night yet so looking at either Brunswick or Gainesville depending on how early we wanted to get there.
