It started when I was pregnant and BJ and I spent Valentines day at the Chicago Auto show (2010). Last year we brought our baby and our neighbors and spent the day before Valentines day at the Auto show. This year BJ, Elijah and I all went back to the show. This year was different from the past few years with less "look at this car that will never be made" and more "look at this car with all the options that you will never get." We had a good day together and Elijah did great. I let him bring his blanket and Mambo puppy (typically they do not leave his bed) so hopefully he would be able to sleep while we were there.
We were successful and left with what we went in with (WAHOO!). Elijah got to drive in Grandma's car.
Half way through the day Elijah took a break and played chase with Daddy which turned in to full contact ring-around-the-rosy.
Then he fell asleep (success) and slept for almost the whole second half of the show.
This year there were a lot more test tracks than in the past few years. And the crazy part was they all had a TON of dirt. I would hate to be the person that would have to clean that place. How did it even get in there? Do they take the same dirt to all the different car shows or do they they get new dirt each time? So many questions.
During Elijah's nap we went to the Ford exhibit and BJ was joking around with one of the sales people about how to get in the car that was straped to the Dyno and the guy told him to answer a question correctly after they do the infomercial. BJ was so cute, he was on cloud nine, but I couldn't get very close becuase I had a sleeping baby in a very large stroller, but we went back later for a picture with the boys and the cars.
Elijah picked out his next car...Please Grandma!
Then we watched the water fountains in the lobby.
All in all it was a good day! Yeah, and I don't know what that face is that Elijah keeps making in all the pictures. I think he might be teething but it makes for some weird pictures.
