Alan was showing the Leaf at an electric car show today, so we went to lend our support (and check out the Teslas!)<\/p>\n

Eve adamantly did not want to go, so she sat in the Leaf the whole time while I walked Arlo and followed Lex around. He loves these cars! Lex, that is, not Arlo. Arlo wanted to be there about as much as Eve did!<\/p>\n

Lex cracked me up because although he has been to several of these events, he was very hesitant at first to sit in the drive seat.\u00a0 Initially he even said, “I’m not 16 yet, I can’t do that.”\u00a0 Such a rule abider!\u00a0 It didn’t last long though.\u00a0 He stared in passenger seats, then the back seat of the one car big enough to have a legit back seat, and before I knew it….\u00a0 look out world!<\/p>\n

This is a super snazzy looking BMW i8. It looked like a futuristic concept car, but Alan and the BMW dealer that was there with the car both agreed that Teslas are better. :)<\/p><\/div>\n

We bumped into a friend there with her son, checking out the cars. The boys only kind of know each other, but they were fast friends in the front seat of a Roadster!<\/p>\n

<\/a>

This little Tesla Roadster is just about the right size for these two little boys!<\/p><\/div>\n

Lex couldn’t get over the cool “falcon wing doors” that open up instead of out. He spent a lot of time checking out this Tesla Model X (their only family car so far) and pushing all the buttons.<\/p>\n

<\/a>

A very lousy photo of the Tesla Model X and a very fascinated boy in his PJs. :)<\/p><\/div>\n

After awhile I was bored, Arlo was over stressed, and Eve was hot from sitting in the car, so we decided to say goodbye to Alan (who was talking up the Leaf and quite busy without us around) and head home. That was our family outing for this weekend. :) <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
