Austin and Demolition Derby

In September every year there's a demolition derby we like to attend. We've been
so many times now that it's become a tradition and the boys really look forward
to it. It's usually a nice break from the beginning of school too. 

It actually got rained out twice, but we finally made it. It's near Austin so
we usually make it a weekend trip and do a park or two, eat some good food, swim
in the hotel pool, and see the demolition derby. 

Jason found this cool park we checked out after lunch since we still had a
few hours before the derby started. It was beautiful weather and we had fun playing 
around and being kids again. :)  The park was huge and you had to walk around 
on a trail to see everything, since it was all spread out.















This scared me! The boys climbed this rock and I wanted to do it too, but I'm not
super good with heights. Then, when Jason was taking a picture, Claire, who is scared
of nothing, decides she wants to not be left out!! She's so brave! 








This set of pictures make me laugh every time....they're so big on here!





Claire of course wanted a turn......she loves these things!




We found a Frisbee and that was great fun....




Demolition derby time! It was fun to see the crashes. It was super muddy from all
the rain and we even got mud thrown on us a few times. It was fun to have snow cones
and hot-dogs and watch the show, and support a local volunteer fire dept.











Claire almost made it to the end! She was so good and is such a good sport.
We had a great time!!
