Dallas Auto Show

On Friday afternoon, we headed downtown after school, picked Anthony up at his office and then went straight to the car show! We love the one at the State Fair and try to visit the official DAS every year, too. The boys just can't get enough of climbing in and out of all the cars. They even took me for a ride! :)

This year there were scooters near the entrance and Jacks and Cody had to test them out.

Jacks calculated that since this scooter cost $6000, he could afford it if he saved up 1000 weeks of allowance. Good luck with that, Jacks!

Of course, one of our first stops had to be to the Corvettes (Daddy's dream car). The boys really liked this red racing 'Vette. Cody immediately took it for a ride to California (why he chose that destination remains unclear LOL).

Jacks looks so small inside! He was just chillin', going nowhere fast.

Then Luke joined him for a spin, hopefully to the hair salon. Someone get that baby a haircut, stat!!

Daddy preferred the orange Z06. Looks pretty sharp in there, doesn't he?

We visited a display of police cars and trucks, and each of the boys got a Sheriff's badge sticker. Luke was very proud of his. He was hoping it would draw attention away from the disaster that his hair has become in the last few weeks.

Jacks made friends with the giant Geico gecko. Say that 3 times fast!!

Jacks and Daddy bonded over the awesomeness that is (are?) Lamborghinis. These cars hold special meaning for Jackson, ever since he referred to them as "diaper genies" at the age of 2. Say them out loud, you'll see they sound the same! Don't ask me what's on his shirt. I can't tell you. Not won't, can't. I honestly have no idea. He probably didn't either.

And here, Cody's favorite...the Mustang! This was their newest one, not even for sale yet, so we weren't allowed to get inside, much to Cody's chagrin.

But he and Jacks tooled around in a smart car, just like Inspector Clouseau, and that cheered him up pretty fast. Notice Luke, demanding to be let in the car, too.

We did a lot of walking that afternoon, so by the end, the boys were sitting on any available surface they could find...including these awesome fake rocks underneath a big truck.

It was a fun afternoon, and we can't wait to go again next year!
