Downers Grove Car Show

On Friday nights during the summer, Downers Grove hosts a classic car show right along Main Street. We had been wanting to go, but were trying to make it work with Gavin's nap and bedtime schedule. He took a nice long nap last Friday, so we went to the show and had a GREAT time!

You can tell by Gavin's expression in these photos that he was totally fascinated. All of his grandparents were able to meet us there as well, which made it even better, since they remember driving / owning cars like these!



Below, Gavin checked his teeth in this scooter's mirror:




Gavin can identify a Corvette anywhere. He liked that some cars had their hoods up and some hoods were down.

We took a water break after awhile. Yes, we are sitting right on the sidewalk - oh, well. Gavin wanted to sit on me and somehow this is where we ended up. From this spot, Gavin could watch the cars cruise down Main Street and also watch the Metra trains stopping at the station. It was 6:00 pm, so there were a lot of trains!

Gavin and Grandpa Cermak inspect the tail lights on this Corvette:

I think Gavin looks like he is explaining this car's engine to Grandma:

A closer look:

The doors on this Mercedes were fascinating to everyone who saw it:

So it was a late night for all of us, and Gavin woke up at the same time in the morning - bright and early! We took himto the zoo to tire him out - more pics on that later. The car show was a lot of fun!
