The Northwest Motorfest

Gary scored some tickets to the Northwest Autofest on Saturday, July 10th.
Expo Idaho was alive with souped up vintage cars and trucks, 50's and 60's music piping through the sound system, and so much to see and do for two little boys!

Here they are watching a 100-foot drag race track, where a variety of cars of varying ages revved their engines, squealed their tires, and took off loudly, racing down the track.



It was a sight to see!

There were reportedly over 1,000 cool, old cars and trucks - hot rods, muscle cars, rat rods, antique vehicles, etc... - but this one was among our favorites. If I recall correctly, it's a 1957 Ford Woody with matching camping trailer.

They even had off-road 4x4 rock crawlers, exhibiting their fascinating skills.

Unfortunately I didn't snap pictures of this part of the day, but each of the boys got a free model car to put together (with Daddy's help). They have them at home to remind them of their super fun day at the Motorfest. I'm sure this is only the beginning of the "guy stuff" I'll be doing in the years to come.... ☺ But to be honest, I really enjoyed this outing too.
