Redneck Weekend Fun!

We just had our bi-annual Redneck Weekend last weekend! Otherwise known as the NASCAR Subway Fresh Fit 500 or something like that.

This is...

a view from our campsite of the track.

where we set up camp with 3 Coaches(not called campers, rvs, or motorhomes), our pop-up trailer, and one tent in a truck and a whole bunch of extra junk! We had lots of space this year. It looked like the economy had pinched the NASCAR fans too and about a 1/3 of them were missing. So sad...

where we hold down lawnchairs for a few days.

where even the dog gets to go on vacation and eat leftover pancakes and sausage and steak and zero dog food the whole weekend!

where we watch a bunch of drunk people race shopping carts and roll each other in garbage barrels down the road until the cops show up and put an end to it even though "it's not illegal", says the cop and the on site grocery store, Bashas, can't pick up the carts until tomorrow. Could you imagine that a wayward barrel just happened to get off the track and hit a very nearby 5th wheel. A leeetle too close to our camp! Thus, you see this...

where Tuffy takes a seat to watch the drunks race and to make sure they don't run into HIS coach!


when you wonder what the heck is this? This would be hundreds, maybe thousands of grasshoppers! And when we make a mental note to never camp underneath the flood lights!

where GOB usually only takes a few naps, never a whole night's sleep.


where 3 boys sleep with their coats and sweatshirts and jeans on.

And when their momma might possibly have the biggest pile of dirty laundry to do when the weekend is over! If you are looking for me, I'll be buried under the laundry for a couple days. Thank goodness I just got a new washing machine and dryer 2 weeks ago! I bet this new set will at least cut my laundry time in half!

The next Redneck Weekend is scheduled for November this year. Wanna come spend it with us?
