More Life at the Campground

On Sunday mornings, there is a children's story hour and Judy has been leading it when kids will come to the office for it.
Last Sunday, she knew that two boys would be coming so she decided to tell the 'Noah's  Ark' story.  (What else??).  So, in advance, she crafted a boat for the story.

All out of a cardboard box!!

Here they are out by the pool during story time.  The boys had a great time listening to the story and playing with the animals and the boat.

On Monday of this week we got a call in the office from someone looking for a campsite that would accommodate their 45 ft motor home and 30 ft trailer!!  We said we could put them up so around 7PM they came in.

Mom and son, Peyton, were the travelers.  And, Peyton, who is just 15, was driving.  (Yes, driving this big rig!!)

We found out that Peyton is a "Legends' race car driver.  So their trailer was carrying two cars, both 1934 Fords.

He has driven in over 40 races already this year and now they were headed to PA for nationals.
We didn't know anything about these cars so I looked up some information in Wikipedia:

Legends car racing is a style of race car, designed primarily to promote exciting racing and to keep costs down. The bodyshells are 5/8-scale replicas of American automobiles from the 1930s and 1940s, powered by a Yamaha motorcycle engine. 
Legends Cars are a "spec" series, meaning all cars are mechanically identical, with the exception of 3 styles of car (Standard coupe, 34 Coupe, and Sedan) available with 10 types of body styles. 
Drivers can be classified into four different divisions. The Pro Division is for the experienced drivers. The Masters Division features drivers 40 years and older. The Semi-Pro Division is for drivers with less than two years of experience in a Legend, featuring the drivers that are new to the INEX Legend Car or have been inactive in other forms of racing for a while. Finally, there is the Young Lions Division, which is designated for drivers between the ages of 12 and 16.

Obviously, Peyton is in the Young Lions Division.

We got his autograph and a card with his picture and one of his cars.

He does have a website if you are interested with a few more pictures.  It is Peytonsaxtonracing.com.

So, you see, hosting a campground can be very exciting!!
