Madrid Car show

We went to the Madrid Car show on Sunday, Robert decided to enter the Chevelle into the show, so we parked with everyone in our class "SS". There were over 300 cars on display, all along Madrid's cutesy downtown. We didn't get any pictures of Dallas, although he was along as well. He was really sick most of the day, and slept on me like a newborn (like all day!). I was getting pretty worried since he was pretty lethargic and not eating well either, but we were just at the Dr. on Friday as he was well enough not to have an ear infection.
He has mostly snapped back to himself, crawling and laughing at Emily. He is still sleeping a lot, and is starting to eat better.
It was a town wide Labor Day festival, besides the car show there was a kids carnival area and lots of food booths, bands and firemen contests. Emily was loving watching this "grandpa" give rides in his modified lawnmower-turned train locomotive. He had made several "cars" out of oil drums to give kiddos rides. Emily wanted to go, until we strapped her in, we assured her that mom would run along side. I did until, I lost them when they crossed the street, she noticed and had a pretty serious, I am not having fun, but not quite scared face! I think she would do it again.

Did the Engineer happen to go by "Grandpa Jones"? He was at Ogden Fun Days when we were there at the end of July. I thought Caleb would really enjoy a ride, but my mom said "why don't you wait & see how Grandpa Jones drives first...". Man she was right because that train took off across the park like it was being shot out of a cannon. Caleb would have been trying to jump out. Maybe next year he'll be a little more brave. Have a great weekend.

I think it was Grandpa Jones. He did ask us first if we thought Emily would mind being squirted with water. We recommended not!
