Tuesday Night Car Shows

Phew! It's been a while since I've checked in the blog. 

Not so much computer time during these long busy summer days.

But I will get some updating done, Grams!! :)

In Plymouth, there's an impromptu, inofficial car show every Tuesday night during the summer.

The drivers are especially generous to the kids and allow them to go inside the cars and check them out.

Lots of fun!

now Miles plans to buy a Jeep :)

so exciting to be behind the wheel of a race car!!

They really enjoyed themselves and learned alot about historic ship building and sailing.
