Tacoma Dome Car Show

MILD TO WILD

HOT RODS & HOT RIDES & WORLD OF MOTORCYCLES

Tacoma Dome April 26, 2008

This was one of Matts favorite paint jobs, only because as a auto body painter he can appreciate the "candy paint" job the truck has since he knows that it's not easy to apply.
The car show wasn't nearly as crowded as we had expected, I'm sure the beautiful SUNSHINE we had on Saturday was to thank for that. We did however manage to get the lawn mowed and the car vacuumed out before the car show which was a good thing!
The kids all chose their favorite cars and motorcycles. Jarom of course was attracted to all of the skulls on the motorcycles.Matt even ran into a restoration that he did some paint work on over in Cd'A Idaho, it's a small world.The girls adored the pretty in PINK cars!Spencer got a kick out of all of the bass that this car had along w/ the built in threatre & surround sound it had. (The kids were able to watch part of the Ice Age movie.)
It took the kids a long while to be able to drag their dad over to the face painting booth (dad felt the need to stop & talk to everyone he ran into for a half an hour or so... the kids got a bit impatient at times, but they were troopers and hung in there.) A souvenir vendor lady gave the kids these bubbles to blow which kept them a bit occupied as dad chatted here & there only the bubbles were made of a strange content and wouldn't pop too easily but they would get stuck on their heads and then leave this glue film after wards. We had to put a stop to them when the bubbles kept on landing on the show cars, wouldn't want to make any proud restoration owners upset about their paint jobs. Anyways, after we made it to the paint-lady they were happy w/ their new colorful faces, cheese! We took a drive into Enumclaw after the car show to look at some property.
This is Josh on Sunday after church, Ellie hooked him up all comfy in his swing (that he grew out of months ago...they still like to play w/ it as you can see!) Josh got to go to nursery at church today, they took him a few weeks early. He's just a few weeks shy of 18 months. Matt stayed in w/ him the first hour but Josh was happy to do it by himself when Matt went to his class for the last part of church, what a big boy! I guess he did pretty good, he just needs to work on sharing a tad Matt says & I guess he got a bit upset when they had to put the toys away in the toy bin, he'll learn. It was actually cute this morning as he picked up a piece of trash off the floor & put it in the garbage can it sounded as if he was singing the clean up song, in his own language of course but it was cute....oh my goodness my baby's growing up!
