The Car Show

A few weeks back my family went to the Bountiful Coats for Kids Car Show.   The show is mainly comprised of old restored and hot rod type cars.  It's really fun to watch.  Hubs and I went with Jasec to watch the parade while my parents drove my brother Ben's truck and my three "older" kids rode along.  It was pretty cool.

The parade route goes along Main Street to about 400 South and then all the cars flip a "u" and parade back down to the beginning point.  A large oval.

Jasec LOVED it and kept saying "Cahs, Cahs, Cahs" (Cars) the entire time.

One particular car caught our eye.  It was somewhat unexpected and didn't fit in.  However, Hubs and I didn't think too much of it 'cause technically Ben's truck isn't a "classic" car and there aren't rules about that kind of thing.  I don't think there are anyhow.

But, regardless, we did chuckle as this sweet ride went by:

Technically this could be considered a classic,
as it's most assuredly from a "day gone by"....

We went on enjoying our eye candy until that little wagon passed us again.  This time the geriatric couple was gesturing wildly and looking around at all the people lining the street.

Hubs and I began to chuckle.  Could it be possible that this couple did not intend to parade down Main Street but had instead somehow slipped past the guard while out doing errands and ended up being featured in a car show?

Yes, indeed friends, that is EXACTLY what happened.  Because just a short ways from where Hubs and I were standing we saw this:

They got out of that parade and parked in the first open parking lot, all the while gesturing at each other.

He he he.

I'm sure it isn't as funny in the retelling, but while it was happening Hubs and I were busting up and wondering if we were the only one's who saw this little display of geriatric success.

After the parade we walked up and down Main Street where the cars had parked and you could see them up close.  Joely got to try out this sweet ride...

Just before going home we went to see the Burn Out.  This is where any of the hot rods that want to can compete to see who can lay the biggest strip of rubber and make the biggest smoke cloud.  It's pretty cool, and loud.

Some of us were unimpressed.

But, as Ms. Els reminds me often, she's "practically a pre-teen", so it'll be years before she finds anything interesting again.

All in all a lovely evening.

Hopefully next year we can see our geriatric champions again... with FLAMES painted on their wagon!
