the roommate crew

11th Annual Demolition Derby! We have been going to the derby every summer since before we got married. The group changes a little each year but we always try to coordinate with Ben’s 2 college roommates – it is the one thing we do to stay in touch with Sean and Larry every year and we all look forward to it.

We had a small group this year – Ben’s parents came and Emily and Schy’s family.

Lots of Family were out of town this year but we had a fun little group. We always debate how many of our kids we dare bring. We just brought the big boys again this year. Benji really enjoys it finally. Packer liked it but plugged his ears the whole time and barely made it to the end – he was afraid that the cars might hurt us or get hurt.

Packer and I sat by each other this year.

Benji almost won the trophy this year but got beat out by 1 point!
