Auto Show 2012

As our family is continuing to grow, we know that a bigger vehicle (SUV) is definitely on the horizon.  So, on Saturday we thought we'd take advantage of the annual Auto Show up at Bartle Hall to do some preliminary shopping.  We also thought this would be fun for Reegan because she could climb in all of the cars and SUVs and there would be tons to look at, so we didn't figure we'd have trouble keeping her entertained.  :)

...We were right!  She had a blast!!  In fact, she went crazy.  I'm talking non-stop, run from car to car, climb in - climb out, scream the color of each car, run some more, and never stop for more than 5 seconds CRAZY!  Putting pictures of her in this post were somewhat difficult because when looking through them there only a select few where her face wasn't blurry.  :) 

She really liked being in the driver's seat and holding the steering wheel...

Trying to find some good tunes...

We brought her stoller along in case she got tired of walking...HA!  She only rode in it long enough to pound a couple dozen apple slices for a snack (to re-fuel herself) and most of the time she was the one pushing the stroller every which way.  Think she's ready to be a big sister??  ;)

The Mercedes area (of all places) had a big cargo van that just had two front seats, so we let Reegan up into the van and she continued her party.  She ran back and forth, and she danced to the music from the nearby Karaoke stage...

...Karaoke.

I personally got distracted from all of the running around once we got near the Ferrari that was at the show.  Ahhh...someday, maybe...



We did actually get to look at a bunch of different SUVs while we were there.  And we feel like we've narrowed our eventual purchase down to 3 or 4 choices.  It is definitely something that will be a huge decision.  We know that our little boy will be here soon, and we don't necessarily need to decide by that day.  But we've got a good idea of what we want in a family-hauling vehicle and we're excited about what we've seen so far.
