Cruise Night has been a Wortley Village tradition for several years, and while Chris and I had been a few times it's really been since Sophie's arrival that we started going regularly.

It makes for a fun family night out, wandering up and down Wortley road (two blocks of which is closed to traffic for the event) checking out the vintage cars, listening to live bands perform "oldies" music and hitting the community barbeque and ice cream shop for dinner.

Chris was working last night, but Sophie and I planned to wander over and were thrilled that at the last minute our friends Karen and Darren joined us along with their boys Rhys and Rowan. The kids walked hand-in-hand down the street looking at the cars, commenting on colours, comparing headlights and tailights (a fascination for Rhys for some reason) and reading the licence plate numbers out loud (Sophie's specialty).

We enjoyed hotdogs while watching an Elvis Impersonator shake his hips, then debated whether to stop at The Big Scoop or Chill Ice Cream for dessert... since Sophie was in charge of that decision the closest shop won and she enjoyed Cotton Candy ice cream from Chill before we headed for home and bed. A great, summery evening - and with only a few more Cruise Nights left before the summer is over we need to make sure we enjoy it to the fullest!

Oh how nice it would have been to join you. It was always fun in the past. I love your shots Summer, as usual. I also like your easy, breezy writing style full of fun, visions and information.
