Git er dun!

 Here are some pictures from Braden's and my trip to the fair and demolition derby this past weekend. The two of us had a blast! Travi stayed with Nana so B and I could have special time together. 

These pictures are posted in reverse order. Sorry!

Things got pretty smoky at the end...

If you click on this picture to enlarge it, you can see it says, "I 1/2 2P" Very nice!

You might be a redneck if...

You enjoy lots of smoking engines, leaking radiators, spinning tires and dented fenders... and boy did we enjoy it!

We LOVED it! Braden wanted to stay until the very end which ended up being way past bedtime. He enjoyed every second and didn't want to leave. We ended up sitting next to some kid named Braden and a girl who loved Mario Kart. Needless to say, Braden had fun with his demolition derby buddies.

There was a chick driving this one and it looked like she was about 15! She rocks! (No pun intended...)

Another rock crawler. Pretty fun to watch. I told Braden to yell, "Get er dun!" and he did! Everyone around looked at him, smiled and laughed.

This guy crashed into the cement barrier before the derby even started! I heard he didn't have any breaks... Go figure!

I saw this "Monterey" boat and it had me wishing I was boating in the Monterey Bay... Ahhh...

Braden and a baby chick.

Here was my date: One short, cute, farmer!

Ever wonder what a naked sheep wearing boots looks like?

Braden was a bit weary at first but after I showed him that the sheep were nice, he went ahead and petted them.

Lions, tigers, BEARS, oh my! Well, there weren't any lions or tigers, but there were bears! At first I was kind of disturbed that they would have performing bears but then I found out that these were rescued, orphaned bears that wouldn't survive in the wild and they perform to raise money to help other bears. Yay!

Ever wonder what it would be like to see an Astro van fly? Wonder no longer! Here's a short clip. This was the second time he flew off the ramp over the rocks. I didn't catch the first time where he actually cleared the rocks.
