What's amazing about this car? You mean you don't recognize it? Well, I admit, neither did I, but Eden did. As we walked into the parking lot she pointed, ran over to it, jumped up and said with delight, "Look! It's Doc Hudson!" My first thought: "Yep, an old car, kind of like Doc Hudson." I walked over to take a look and sure enough, it was a Hudson Hornet, exactly like Doc Hudson. I was absolutely amazed that Eden recognized it. Now do you see it? Take a peek:
Interestingly enough, I just found out that the actual Fabulous Hudson Hornet is just down the road from us at the Ypsilanti Automotive Heritage Museum. Yes, Doc Hudson was based on a real racecar.I'm still amazed, and a bit startled, at how Eden made the connection from a cartoon to a real car that was even a different color. Maybe I shouldn't be, but it was definitely a lesson on media effects, or perhaps my daughter's love of cars. Now, just think about all those shows and commercials on TV...

I just saw your blog on Andrea Richards :-) Happy Birthday to Sam! It looks like you've been having a fun summer. We definitely need to do the fairy door thing sometime while we're here.
See you guys at church!
Eden is so smart! Charlie loves Cars the movie. He would have loved seeing the car show. We miss you!
That totally awesome! I wish I still lived there. We would go and see it in Ypsi.
That is so funny! It is amazing how smart kids are.
