On Wednesday night we went to the Demolition Derby at the Goodhue County Fair. It was a fun time - our pal Derek was in the Derby and came home with Second Place! Way to go, Derek! Yesterday we visited the American Queen paddle boat at the levee. We ate fish fry (because Kelby had never heard of one before) and then went for a ride on my parent's boat. We finished the night off with a backyard bonfire (also a first for Kelby.) I think Kelby might have been a little surprised at how "country" we are up here compared to California. It was great fun having him here and we are sad to see him leave today. :(

A four-truck pile-up. Choo-choo!
Here is Derek, showing off his new trophy. He has a matching one at home, I hear. I think he's trying to collect the whole set. ;)

A short video of the beginning of the derby - go Derek!


The American Queen riverboat.


A quick family photo-op by the "paddles. Not quite sure what Evan was yelling at...

I was wondering what Kelby was thinking about all the festivities we do up in this neck of the country!
Good pics of Derek, we'll have to exchange pictures soon.
