Everything about these 2 pictures is just wrong. I'm wearing a tie-dyed shirt in public, I am at the fair, and I'm watching (with my sons) a bunch of crazy kids ramming their cars into each other...something they like to call a "demolition derby". When my dad mentioned to Charlie that there were animals at the fair, there was no turning back. We had to go. Before leaving, Charlie got his chocolate pudding covered face on my white shirt, so this tie-dyed one was the first shirt I pulled out of my sister's double 0 size clothes...it fit, so I went with it. Do you see the boys' faces? They loved it. I was wondering if they were really my sons, when my dad explained to me that "They're boys!!"...so of course they love a bunch of cars in a bunch of mud. I'm glad we went, though, (did I really just say that?!) because it's so awesome seeing the boys have so much fun.
Have you ever been to one of these things?

Haha...making memories! I've never been but I've heard them when I've been at the fair-very loud. Lee wants us to go to a NASCAR race at some point and I feel this way about that. :)
I love the looks on their faces--so cute! And demolition derbies . . . I never went to one, but my brother did. Your dad is right--it's a boy thing. :)
that is funny! I've never been to one of those but what boy wouldn't love that!!
aww this looks like so much fun!! and their faces are precious- you can tell they love it!
Ahh, you're such a good mom, making the sacrifice. :) It takes all the strength I can muster, to get out in the crowds and I'm usually not very fun. :P
everything about this cracks me up! Love it! it looks like fun :)
I haven't been to one of these but there are several hosted in the area. They are really boys, aren't they? I never understood that early early attraction to cars and all things with wheels
I always see it at the fair but I've never been. Their faces are priceless!
Today is the first time I've done the link-up. I'm just co-hosting today but its fun :)

I love demo derby's! And rodeo's! And fairs! We'd go out in utah and get dressed up and eat horrible clog your arteries food and have a great time.
Haha this reminded me a little of the movie One Fine Day when Michelle Pfeiffer's son spills juice on her business suit so she has to wear her son's dinosaur shirt to her business meeting.
Glad y'all had such a good time! :-)
Your boys seem to love watching cars ram into each other. As for the tie dyed shirt, it has colors that matches your earrings so it was meant to be worn by you.
What a fun activity! I haven't been to one but I want do.
Love "(did I really just say that)"......I have only been to one demolition derby.....when I was really young. I don't remeber it much (maybe 'cause I was a young girl)....but I'm sure your boys will remember this one and be happy you were there to share it with them! :)
THis looks like fun! ANd I love tie dye!
Yay rednecks! I grew up in Idaho so I know all about these things....complete madness!
I have never been to one of those! It reminds me of last week's Middle episode though! Ha ha
Awww, his face says it all. He is so enjoying himself. Like "ooohhhhh!" lol.
We have never been to one, but I do think this really is something my girls would enjoy seeing (just once though lol).
When I was at State, I manned the NCSU ice cream stand during the fair. It's right on the edge of the place where they do the demolition derbys. I got to watch a few for free that way. I know you hate the fair, but I *LOVE* the North Carolina State Fair! It's so fun to people watch, eat ridiculous foods and see giant vegetables. Maybe you could give the fair a second chance. Do it for the boys. :)
okay well monster trucks are pretty fun, I would TOTALLY go to one of those over a fashion show as of late!
I went to a fair this past spring.
I felt awkward and kinda gross.
You rock that shirt, in a "hum she's really wearing that kind of way"..
haha well I am glad the enjoyed it. Following back! you have such a cute blog!

No I haven't but I bet my son would love it. He is obsessed with cars. He likes to look at the cars for sale in the newspaper. OBSESSED.

Looks like fun! And the shirt is cute! :)
Oh my, I have NEVER been to one of these but if I had little boys...I don't think I would have a choice either!! And you are totally rocking the shirt!
I have been to PLENTY of these things! Also plenty of drag races, four wheelin parks, etc. I'm a redneck and I'm not ashamed. :)
I haven't but I totally think I would like it. I have been to different races in dirt, races on tracks, etc- just never a demo derby
Hey Ashley... I think I figured how to link up the email. :)Thanks for letting me know, too!

nothing wrong with a fair, a tie-dyed shirt maybe ;-) and nope i have never been to one of those
haha! can't say that i've ever been to a demolition fair thing butttt i have sported a tie-dyed :)
Heehee....what's not to love with demolition derby?!? And I love that tie-dye shirt:)
The tie-dye, I'm sure, is perfectly acceptable ESPECIALLY at a county far ;)
HAha! Love it. I secretly have always wanted to go to a demolition derby. ;) Maybe now since I have a little boy I have a good excuse.
wait, this actually sounds like SO much fun... have you ever been mudding?? it's on my list!
This is too funny. I once went to a Nascar race and left with debris and dirt all over me. It was SO much fun though!
