We missed the Tres Rios Festival this year, so we decided to go to the Arizona Game & Fish Department's Outdoor Expo in April. Rob was playing in a softball tournament that day, so the kids and I stopped by and watched a game before going on to the expo.
This is an annual event AGFD puts on, and it's HUGE. It's geared mainly toward hunting & fishing, so there were lots of vendors there showing new guns, knives, bows, you name it. Not particularly interesting to me and the kids, but there was lots of other stuff, too. Plenty of live and taxidermied animals and pelts, giant fish tanks, target ranges, a rodeo arena with different competitions, ATVs and RVs on display.
Erin got to hold a snake! I thought Robbie would want to, with how much he loves animals, but maybe snakes aren't his bag.
The kids got to shoot BB guns and keep their targets. One of the guys at the range gave them bright orange shooting vests to wear. Erin quickly realized they were dorky and decided to carry hers. Robbie, on the other hand, wore it proudly and for about a week afterward, it was his eating vest, his playing with Legos vest, his drawing vest, you name it. He still wears it around the house every now and then.
