Derby & Not The Pinewood Type

That's right a demolition derby!
Saturday night Zack and I went to a Demolition Derby with Robert and the Smith Family. It was so much fun. Zack's first derby and my first derby in a really long time. We both loved the trucks they were awesome. The finale with all the winners was also awesome! The hits were crazy. No one flipped but a car did manage to end up on top of another car and make its way off to ram some more cars, a few cars lost their tires and some broke axles! So much fun we would definitely go to another one! The nieces and nephew also had a lot of fun. It was fun watching them get excited, even the youngest at 4 was enjoying herself and had favorite cars! Definitely worth sitting in the cold for about 4 hours!

Mini Break

I took a class this past week that was Monday through Friday from 8-4. It is a 3 credit hour class that I need to graduate and I figured if I could get it out of the way in a week why not. Zack and I had planned to get out after this week was over to relax before classes start Monday for both of us. We decided to go camping. It may sound crazy and it kind of was because it was raining and snowing on us most of the time. Lucky for us we decided to sleep in the truck and not a tent. Friday after I got out of class and Zack got home from work we drove out to Coalvile to check out the Camperworld there. Which happens to be where we are hosting the Ludlow Family Reunion this year. We just enjoyed ourselves, went on a few walks, roasted marshmallows over a propane stove and just relaxed. Saturday we also made a quick trip to Logan to buy some tires for the truck and on the way home had dinner at Firehouse Pizzeria. I love that place. Jessica and Clay took us there last year when we were up there visiting and I have wanted to go back.

Now it is time for school again. I have 3 classes this summer and Zack has two. I am taking 2 classes the first 7 weeks and 1 the second 7 weeks. Zack has one class during each section. Time to put our thinking caps back on!
