Demolition Derby time!!!

Well every year our little city has it's even smaller fair. But one big event that is a blast to watch is the Demoliton Derby. That is where a bunch of companys here in town fix up old junker cars and get them ready for well their last bit of glory (quite literally for most!) So here are a few pictures of the chaos and destruction in one of the groups (there were like six groups of 8 cars and they are all jamed in a tiny space that is muddy and slippery so by the time they are done people have had mud splattered all over them and there are huge holes and NO grass left in the rink) There was plenty of smoke, and flames (which they had to bring the firefighters in to put out the flames, unfortunatly due to the fact it was dark many pictures didn't turn out. But here are a few that did. Enjoy!











And of course Ethan got to ride the pony's which he LOVED, we ended up letting him do it twice unfortunatly this is the only picture because my camera had dead batteries and this was all I could manage to get before my camera gave up on me!

What fun!!! Caleb would have been in heaven! He is infatuated with cars. I swear that's all he plays all day. He's never without a car in his hand! He seems to be taking a break from the trains. They just can't compete with the cars.
