Every year Langley has the car show and we have never gone. This year we decided it would be fun to go. The weather was perfect to be outside in. The boys thought it was a good way to spend the day but Nicole was NOT impressed to be looking at cars all day! She got over it.
There were so many cool cars. From newer to very, very old.
Even I had to get into a car. I chose this one because it is a 1970 Mustang....the year I was born!
...and he was super excited to be able to go inside them too!
The kids couldn't figure out why I was excite to see this car but it brought back some memories for me! We had a car just like this one! We spent many rides in the very back of the station wagon without seat belts on!! We did fight about sitting in the middle row but that wasn't always desirable either as then we would have to sit four across and that was squishy.
I think this was a '68 mustang and Dave used to have one!
Then there was a motorcycle show to watch. This is when things got more exciting for Nicole. Not only could we sit down for a while but we didn't have to look at cars that just sit there doing nothing. At least this was entertaining.
This man was quite the flirt and had a wink or a smile for us every time he came around.
They did some amazing tricks and all on these vintage bikes.
It did make me think of the book:
Bears on Wheels by Jan & Stan Berenstain though.
This would be 10 bears on 8 wheels.
3 bears on 2 wheels
Nuts....they said that the older more experienced guys get to drive the bikes and the younger new recruits get to do the crazy stunts! I am scared to think what Jake would do.....try to stand on the feet of the guy upside down?
2 bears on 2 wheels
After the show the kids were given the opportunity to sit on the bikes. I love this one of Matthew.
More cars on the way back to the truck and home again.
This truck was parked right near our truck and it was loud! I think they were having a bit of a tough time getting it going but they did!
