Hastings Car Show - Take One

One of our favorite past times in the summer is going down to the Hastings Car Show -
We go as often as we can -
And we've been looking forward to going this past weekend along with our out of town company...

Grandma Tammy, Auntie Christy, H, Cousin Maddie & Big D.

One thing we didn't realize was that with a group of 8 people, temps in the 90's and the hot hot sun...it wouldn't be quite as um, leisurely?, as we are used to?
A few hundred hot rods with hot engines on the pavement didn't help the temperature factor much either...

Nothing a nice cold ice cream cone couldn't help out though...

Or some sticky cotton candy...

We cooled off down by the river - and what I wouldn't of given to had my SLR with us (it's broken) so that I could have captured the bald eagles soaring high above the water...sooo beautiful!)

D was THRILLED to get back on the pictures with mom bandwagon -

SEE?

D has been around long enough that at the ripe old age of three, he'll walk around saying things like "Hey Dad! Check out that cool 'maro!" As in...CAmaro...pretty cute! They'll have a lot of fun together over the years those two...

H took this photo of Grandpa Larry & Grandma Tammy and the hubs and I hanging out at the river...

And three generations of Gust boys...enjoying the night...

When we got home, it was time to say good bye to Grandpa & Grandma...much too soon -

We do hope they'll come again very very soon -

We all had SUCH a good time and cannot wait to do it again!
