Autorama

Last week Alex saw a commercial on TV for the upcoming Autorama where he could meet a lifesize Lightening McQueen.  He flipped out and made it very clear that he would like very much to go to the car show.  That same evening John came home from work excited that on his way home he'd heard a commercial on the radio about a car show where there'd be a lifesize Lightening McQueen.  It was pretty obvious what we'd be doing this weekend.

I ended up getting out of going with them, not being the slightest bit excited about a car show, and seeing an opportunity to save the $15 ticket price, I convinced John to invite his brother along instead of me and they'd have a lot more fun.  I packed a backpack for John filled with everything he could possibly ever need while out of the house with Alex (of which he used NOTHING) and entrusted him with my two most precious possessions:  My child and my camera.

They came back several hours later with a memory card full of pictures of cars and saying that Alex had a great time.  The full set is here, but these are my favorites:
