You go to the County Fair for the quilting exhibit, but STAY for the DEMOLITION DERBY!
I was surprised by how much fun we had at the Sumter County Fair. The art and horticulture exhibits were interesting, and the boys loved the animals. Atticus won a prize at a dart throwing booth.
Just when we thought it couldn't get any better we stumbled upon the Demolition Derby.
Drivers rig up old junkers, barricade themselves into a small, muddy area, then play bumper cars to the finish. We had a blast!
I don't know what came over me. I suppose I should blame the part of my personality that gets addicted to reality TV, but I was enchanted. I LOVE THE DEMOLITION DERBY!We stayed for over an hour.
We met all sorts of colorful new friends,
We met all sorts of colorful new friends,learned all sorts of colorful new words and phrases,
were thrilled to see a fire truck rush in and extinguish a car that caught on fire,
and enjoyed being as loud and raucous as we pleased.
I made friends with a very sweet 7-year-old boy sitting in front of us. He played with Atticus, was kind to Wyatt and drew us this souvenir on the back of a flyer for an upcoming wrestling match. (No, I am not making this up.)
Ryan slept through the entire thing.

How fun, we totally went to a demolition derby here this last fall and it was a blast! Wyatt's sure growing up . . . has it been a big adjustment for him since Ryan came? I hope Lucy does well.
Nope. Wyatt's done well. Lucy and Baby #2 will do great!
We miss you guys. Good luck with graduation.
Sounds like a blast!

We really have to get you out of Wildwood. Meanwhile, send Ryan out here. We'll take her to a symphony.
