Redneck Weekend

 My childhood friend, Kelli, her husband, Dave, and their kids came to visit the beach for a long weekend and we managed to give them the full Clatsop County experience.  Ronny took Dave deer hunting with him, and it just happened to be the weekend of the Monster Truck and Mudneck-fest out at the fairgrounds.  We couldn't stop giggling about the company we were in.  Ronny said he didn't see that much camo on people out in the woods.  Although, when I turned around to see that Tyler had taken off his sweatshirt and was only wearing his "wife beater" tank that he had on for tumbling class earlier that day, I realized we fit right in....

 Our good friend, Chris, loves this stuff.  He entered his jeep in the mudneck contest and gave Ronny the privilege of riding shotgun through the mud.  The picture below shows just before they entered the pit.

The Monster Bus came around to give rides at intermission - can you see Elie's little face in the window?  They thought that was pretty cool.  Put some big tires on a short bus, drive over some dirt mounds and call it redneck fun!
