Workin' At the Carwash...

We've talked about it for years, but this summer it finally came to fruition..Rylee worked for Jason at the carwash.

Her first day of work, he texted me a picture of her drying off a car.
The text read, "A dream come true..I am a proud daddy!"

Typically they would go into work together early (6:30am!) and many days she would stay all day until he was ready to come home (5-6:00pm). She worked long, hard hours, but made good tips and good money for a 15 year old. She got along well with the other employees and really enjoyed her time there. She even learned some Spanish along the way.

One of her biggest concerns was the "carwasher's tan" she got, but she made it look good. :)

Memorial Day BBQ

Jason had taken Memorial Day off, but still wanted to do something nice for his employees.

He decided to do a BBQ lunch, at the carwash.

He invited the kids and I along to help and participate.

He provided the burgers, hotdogs, soda and condiments

while the employees brought the salads, chips and dessert.

Lunch was enjoyed by all..... especially by our kids! :)

Later that evening, we went to the "Meridian Speedway". The weather was cool, but not freezing. It was nice to put on a jacket, rather than be BAKED by the sun.

We had a good time watching the races and rooting for our favorite cars.

When Abree discovered a GIRL was driving the car with the PINK numbers, she turned to me with wide eyes and said, "I want to race a car!"

All I managed to say was, "Oh."

(Please no, please no, please no.)

Happy Memorial Day!
