Derby!!

The derby this year ended up being pretty eventful! We started off the afternoon by checking out all the animals and art projects. Toby was pretty interested in everything & we even found a George Washington Duck!


The derby started out kinda crazy. A bit after it started there was a severe weather warning and they asked everyone to evacuate to their cars until it was safe! The wind was blowing dirt everywhere and it started raining. Marcel and I climbed in the rescue truck that was parked in the arena for safety!

After about 45minutes everyone was told to come back and the derby continued! The coolest thing was on 2 different occasions a car was hit on the side and rolled over with the other car on top!! This happened in the exact same spot by the same car both times! So awesome!! :)

Enjoying the Derby with the best seats in the arena!
Toby was happy that we snagged him a little stuffed animal that the firefighters were throwing out to the crowd! I kept it, not planning on giving it to him, but when we got home and he saw it he got so excited thinking we had brought him a new toy! How could I say no to this face?!

It turned out to be the most exciting derby I've been to! Nephi knows how to do things right! Haha! Can't wait for next year! :)
