The perfect ending to a perfect week? Well, a parade and DEMOLITION derby, of course! Granny Camp is always centered around the fair. This was Tuck and Sawyer’s first Granny Camp experience but they can be assured that they will get to enjoy all this small town goodness every year. Saturday morning was the downtown parade… Here comes the candy… Only in a small town parade is the a semi-truck with a warning sign attached…
…followed by a dozen 4-wheelers spinning their tires in tubs of water to create a cool shower for the crowd --- PERFECT!…
That little man has some fast, yet short, legs…
… and this is where Darrin had to start to ‘intervene’…
That tootsie roll-lovin’-sucker-catchin’-parade-cheerin’ boy was no longer a happy camper… … until the float with the popsicles came by… WHAT A GREAT IDEA AT A HOT SUMMER PARADE!!!!
Later that evening, it was time for the Demolition Derby. I’m here to admit that I’ve NEVER seen anything like this in my life! The only thing I’ve seen closely resemble this was an episode of ‘Happy Days’. WOW! That’s really all I can say. Men putting tons of time, money, and energy into a junky car just to crash it time after time… after time… AFTER TIME into each other… I L.O.V.E.D. IT! I know… really? Really! Now… I’m not saying I ever want to see any of my own children participate in this particular sport, I’m just sayin’ that this would be something I can see myself attending again next year:-)…
Poor ‘Cody’ had to be air lifted by front loader in order to make it out of the arena…
Before….
…and….After….
Adam works for Grandpa Bucholtz at the hardware store and has been doing this every year since he was able to drive. His car went to demo derby heaven but he re-assured us that he had 13 more cars waiting in his pasture for their turn in the arena. Some guys keep cows in their pastures… Adam keeps run down hunks of metal in his…:-)… Great Job Adam!
Granny Camp 2010 ended for the Ross kids but how can anyone be sad when this is what we got to enjoy on the ride home…
