Demolition Derby and Nana

Two of Owen's favorite things came together today when Nana took him to his first Demolition Derby at the Puyallup Fair. Actually 3 or 4 if you count the cotton candy and the amusement rides. Owen was all smiles when he came home. He said his favorite car was a police car and it made "a lot of smoke." Nana had a favorite car too though but I'm not sure exactly what the description was. Pink, maybe?

I asked Owen which he liked better now that he's been to both - the Monster Truck Show or the Demolition Derby and he said The Monster Truck Show because it wasn't as loud. I reminded him that we were smart enough to bring ear protection to the Monster Truck Show and all we had at the Derby were Nana's hands over his ears. I asked if the Derby was quieter, which would have been his favorite and he said, Derby!

Then they got to cap the night off with a corn dog sans the corn and a few rides. He even won a prize and brought it home for his brother. A blue angel fish.

Thanks Nana for supporting a boy with a crash obsession. He has been recreating the derby with his matchbox cars ever since. I sense the next big outing will be Nana and Bubba take on Wrestlemania at the T-Dome!
