Picnic and a Car Show

Back in June, the company my Dad works for had a picnic and a car show for the families of the employees. Two years ago, they had a similar picnic that we attended, and we had so much fun that we were really looking forward to this year’s show!

We started off by looking at all of the cars. I tend to naturally gravitate towards red convertibles. J ‘Though I’m far too practical to ever think of owning one. But they’re fun to look at!

We all loved looking at the classic cars! It made us look forward to the annual car cruise in our area.

You can’t see it that well in this photo, but we’re standing in front of a dragster. Later in the day, the owner started up the engine and boy was it LOUD!

Josiah and Ben had fun racing remote-controlled cars on the race track that had been set up. Josiah and the twins also had fun racing a match-box car on a pinewood derby track.

After we had looked at cars for an hour or so, we ate lunch. We purchased hot dogs, chips, cookies, and drinks. We were thankful that the weather turned out good for a picnic!

Following lunch, we toured some of the buildings and eventually made our way up to Dad’s office, where we chatted with some of his co-workers.

This was the view of the car show from the window near Dad’s cubicle.

Ben has been dreaming of owning his own motorcycle, but for now he has to be content with photos. J

We had a great time at the show! And we enjoyed the opportunity to visit Daddy at work.
