Food Lion Auto Show

If you want to see Aston in his element invite him along to an auto show. BB and Babs invited Asty, Mei and me to Lowe's Motor Speedway for the Food Lion Auto Show last Friday afternoon. We never even made it in the show itself. We merely wandered outside the gates looking at some fun old cars/hot rods that were up for auction and then hiked through the massive stadium seating where we had a bird's eye view of the show.

This was the first car we came across...Aston loved it because it resembled one of his favorite characters from Cars the movie, Snot Rod. He's on his tippies because he insisted on looking up the nose of the car to check out the engine.20100827-DSC_0074.jpg

The guy on the phone just won this car at auction...his eye was on Aston

kate - you are the wide-shot/urban queen!! love these pics. my fav is the 1st wide shot in the stands (w/ muted colors - stell closer to the camera, aston farther back) and also the wide shot of aston in the hallway/coming out into the stadium. but - they are ALL so cool. love aston's passion for cars. and also, am just so darn impressed that he can run around in flip-flops. griff can't even walk in crocs unless the back strap is on. haha

Love all the pics - the contrast between all the concrete with A & S are so cool! Can't wait for Cole to get a little bigger - he would've so dug the auto fair!!

what an amazing place to bring a little boy. and all of your pictures are amazing--very cool perspectives and post-processing. love the first one where you can just see aston's excitement. also love you looking through the car at aston. the shadow pointing, great eye on that. and the rows of seats look so cool with the wide angle. these are incredible!
