Another Car Show

We have had so much fun going to car shows this summer!!!!!! Trinity found a purple car she thought was soooo cute and Camten found a green one with a blower (it was even for sale!)

Dad and Ted have had a blast buying a bunch of raffle tickets and gatherings their winnings all day. They each report to all of us the latest prize... a hat, more car wash, a t-shirt, a set of screw-drivers ("I totally needed that!") and tons of other great and useful stuff. I love it, 'cause there's always something for me... a bag of lotions, a free coffee, a gift card to a grocery store!

The goal, of course, is to win a trophy, and everyone hangs out all day in hope! Ted won with his yellow Corvette at least once and his wife, Robin, won with her teal Mustang, too. We were up against tough competition with our truck. At this show we got beat out by a Jeep... a JEEP!! Obviously the judges don't know what a "truck" is. So far we have found judging everywhere to be unsettling. Either the chosen judges didn't realize this was a "classic" car show and awarded someone's newer purchase that should not even have been entered in a show, or a local car club came with all their friends and voted for each other!!! Either way, we have found a way to explain every situation we haven't come home with a trophy this year. I don't think anyone could fault us for trying hard, tho! And we have lots of car wash!
