Do you know Kasey?

Now we do! Well, at least we had a brief brush of fame today! As some of you know, my husband and daughter are NASCAR fans. Here in the Chicago-area there's a big race this weekend and some of the drivers are doing appearances. Today, we ventured out to meet the toddler's favorite driver: Kasey Kahne!

Daddy, the toddler and Kasey's car

Waiting over an hour in line to see Kasey -- at least the Dean's Food man was passing out free popsicles!

Here we are, almost to the front of the line with our new Kasey hat -- waiting to meet him!

AND HERE HE IS!!! (isn't he dreamy? click on the above photo to enlarge it and see his dreamy blue eyes!!) Kasey is signing the toddler's hat...

and her Kasey race car.
He was so well protected that they weren't allowing personal pictures with him, but you could take pictures, "as long as you don't hold up the line". He had people to do everything -- you couldn't even hand him your item -- a man took the item from you, passed it to another man who passed it to Kasey who then signed it and passed it to another man (that's the man's arm there taking the car out of Kasey's hand). That last man then handed the item back to us.....talk about impersonal, but at least we got to see him!

Oh, Tyler you may have some competition now!
