Farm Animals, Carnival Rides and Car Crashes

It was Soren's and my first demolition derby last night, which we watched from a hill during a local fair.  It was pretty cool!

It's funny the things that having a child exposes one to.  I mean, spending an evening watching beat-up cars smash each other in a mud pit was never really on my to-do list.  Same goes for  getting excited about having to stop at a crossing to watch a train and yelling for my son to hurry up and look out the window when a bulldozer goes by.

So after taking a walk around the fair grounds, petting animals

and riding the cheesy, possibly dangerous rides

We sat down for an All-American evening of waffles and ice cream and car crashes.

And it was great!
