The expo was PACKED! So many vendors, and so many people. So many dogs too! Chloe is a little shy, but Chanel was really loving all the attention she was getting.
We got loads of sweet freebies- stickers, patches, hats, etc. We brought lunch with us to help save some money, so we went to the truck for a bit for sandwiches and snacks.
The kids were in heaven because they got to ride with Joe in a Land Rover and in a ginormous Jeep. Chris and I skipped that part to try and get some more vendor booths in. The later the day got, the higher the temperature, so our dogs got tuckered out! We had to start carrying Chloe and Jack around, but Chanel was a trooper! Ella, Bradley and I sought some shade under the big gazebo and let the dogs cool off for a bit and relax for a bit. Joey and Chris went to the Goal Zero booth and bought portable personal fans that we could all take turns using. That was a life saver!
At the end of the show is the best part. The vendors hand out free beer and call it happy hour. We went to the Nissan booth and Mother Road Brewery Kolsch. Especially after being so warm for so long, that was delicious! The kiddos got juice and soda, and we were all happy campers!
I got a wicked sunburn and my skin was on fire, so we drove up the road to the Home Depot in Flagstaff and bought an aloe plant. I just kept breaking pieces off and rubbing it into the skin on my face and chest all the way home, and luckily that did the trick. I still peeled a little bit, but not nearly as bad as it would have been!
