We went to the
Big Boy Toy Show this past weekend...and were pretty disappointed. If you click the link you'll see all the fun areas advertised - well, there was no "Women's Guilty Pleasures" area, no "Wired" area, no "Riverwalk/Water" area, and no "Lifestyle" area. The children's section was pretty good - 3 water bouncers (one of which was like a giant slip 'n slide!). Lots of vendors (I bought a jewelry set), lots of cars and motorcycles, and very loud music...but the most egregious of all -- THERE WERE ABSOLUTELY NO BOATS!! We have been thinking about purchasing a boat and thought this event might be a good place to get an idea of what kind of boat we'd like to buy, but we were severely disappointed when we found out there were none! If we had known how little this event actually was we probably would not have spent the time or money going. However, Aiden seemed to enjoy himself and ended up staying in the children's section for about 2 hours! Luckily we put him in his swim trunks so we let him get totally soaked! Oh, and there was a neat archery set-up and Aiden has told us he wants his own bow :)
