We are going to the
Monster Jam truck show next weekend. Really I should be printing (and I am!) but still have to take a break and do something different and get some inspiration every once in a while. And while we aren't big car people (or anti-car people for that matter), yesterday we went to an auto show. No compelling reason, really, it just was one of those things we never do, never think of doing so probably might not be a bad idea to do and see what it is all about. And one of my favorite things to do is to hide out in a car or truck as if it were a fort you built with your parents good sheets in the living room when they weren't paying attention. And that is exactly what it was like except the cars were a bit swankier than what we are used to!

We have two vehicles, one is an inefficient compact truck sitting on a farm across the country holding hay and kittens I am sure (and happy about!) and the other lives here with us. We don't use our KTV (stands for Kevin Transport Vehicle as it was my brother-in-laws back in the day) often unless all five of us are going someplace together, in which case all the kids do a domino act when the back doors close.
It was impressive seeing how incredibly busy the auto show was with thousands of people. We might have been the only ones that consistently entered each vehicle through the rear hatch or trunk if there were one of those nifty luggage doors which I have never really understood the point of aside from letting me and and my kids have too much fun pretending we are in a gymnasium on wheels.
