But barring all catastrophes, we're hoping to be at an annual show on Aug. 10. It's sponsored by a Chevy club, but we'll set that aside because it's such a nice show. So keep your fingers crossed that the weather and work will both cooperate to make this happen.
Last year at that particular car show is when I took the picture that's at the top of the blog. It started pouring rain, and Biscuit and I ducked under the awning of a building near where we were parked. Biscuit was getting antsy, so I started taking silly pictures of him. To get the shot at the top of the blog, I turned my camera around and snapped the photo without even looking at Biscuit. Of course I probably couldn't have gotten a photo that good if I had been trying!
Because the Barracuda has old-style seatbelts, Biscuit's car seat won't work in it. So Jeff drives the Barracuda, and Biscuit and I take my car and meet him there. I try to time it so we don't spend quite the whole day there because there isn't a ton of stuff for kids to do. And it's a looooong day, usually from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The best part is after the show is over, they open the back gate to the park, and all the cars file out. It's like a parade. There's a long straightaway that leads back to the main road, and as the hot rods are leaving, they all do burnouts and go screaming down the road. That's the part I love best.
This will be Biscuit's fourth year at the Chevy club show.
Here's a picture of Biscuit in 2010, his first year at the show:
