What we did this weekend

First, the boys did this:



They won! 1-0. The other team had an obnoxious parent. Why do they do that?



Then we went to the Austin Maker Faire where we saw this:



A total blingified car. Must have been tens of $1000's of bling. Amazing!



Then we saw this:



Hundreds of coordinating "Big Mouth Billy Bass"-es and "Rocky the Singing Lobster"s all wired to sing along to the Halleluia Chorus (and other songs). The sign on the door said, "Sashimi Tabernacle Choir." It was awesome.



An astro-turf covered car? Inside and out? Why not? This is Austin, after all. (Oh, and Mosey hasn't been going anywhere without his trusty light saber (or light-saver as he calls it)).



Then we saw this, a purple chalkboard-paint-covered truck. Someone at the fair felt the need to put into words exactly what is wrong with America today! (The Maker Faire was a totally weird and cool combination of Geek-Meets-Hippie-- very, very Austin-like).



Then we went inside and saw this. Two huge tessla coils shooting electricity into a hanging electric guitar, also set to music:



But our favorite thing was this: the Robot wars. Totally awesome. My favorite matchup was "The Judge" (you see the giant hammer mid-swing) versus "Vladiator." Vladiator won.



The boys were doing this the whole time:



Then we went to a friend's house where we watched this:



Once the biggest part of the inferno died down, the boys busied themselves doing this: Mining for... rocks. With croquet mallets. I love boys.



When it got dark, we did this:





Until the fire died down to this:



Then we went home.

The end.
