The Derby

Demolition derby.  We had never been.  We had never lived. 

We are becoming county fair junkies, known to seek out free food events and rodeos and carnivals.  It is possible that we are slightly ill.  Regardless, we had a blast. 

Sam had some apprehension from the beginning.

The big water truck came out to make the mud. 

 That was a good sign of things to come.

Excited Ella.

Stop taking pictures of me. 

Make sure you cover your ears.

Then the cars started to crash into each other. 

What is wrong with these people? 

 And all the people cheering?

O.K....so we cheered too. 

Then the tractors came in and pulled off all the cars that

didn't work anymore. 

This was Samuel's favorite part, of course.

I'm no expert, but this car may have worked better

if it had another wheel.

 Then they went to work on those broken cars. 

Watch out for blow torches and sledge hammers....

Then it repeated.  Again and again. 

Finished things off with some fireworks and it was a

night full of fun for all. 

Next week we will attend a combine harvester demolition derby.  It may blow this experience out of the water.  Photos to come.....
