And the final pictures that I took at Sportsfest...

Tyler hamming it up wearing the free hat Rodney got at
Sportsfest.

Drew wanted to try and better his score at the slapshot game...
|
|
...which he was unable to do.
|
|
Tyler tried as well, but he to failed to beat his previous
score.
|
While Tara was standing in line waiting for the face
paint, she snapped a few pictures of the girls. She also grabbed her camera a
couple other times as well. Enjoy her photos!

Samantha and Mariah looking on as Jayden sits down to have her
face painted.
|
|
At first it looks as though Jayden is having an off-colored
rainbow painted on her face...
|
|
...but as more is added it begins to come into shape.
|
|
When the dots are added, it really starts to look like a
butterfly!
|
|
Here is Jayden looking in the mirror, admiring her artwork.
|
|
Sam looked a little nervous as she sat down to have her face
done.
|
|
But she was a little happier when she saw the finished product.

Tara also took this picture of Tyler making his way around the
ice.

After leaving Sportsfest, Tyler suggested that, since we
were already this far south, we should drive over to American Jewelry and Loan.
This is where they film the TruTV show "Hardcore Pawn". We had already seen one
of the stars from the show, Seth, at Sportsfest as we were entering, so perhaps
this is what triggered the request. Tara decided that it wasn't too far away and
that we had time to go, so off we went. We arrived and found the parking lot
jam-packed with cars. As we entered the building there was a sign that Sam
spotted pointing out that it there was filming taking place and that we may end
up on TV. The kids were thrilled at this prospect! It was a pretty surreal
sight, seeing all of the camera people and boom mikes and whatnot. Tara and
Tyler saw another star from the show, the pawn shops owner Les was in the office
area. We also saw the other star, Ashley, but did not get a chance to talk to
either of those two. Seth was there as well, and he came out and posed for
pictures with the kids and talked to Tara for a moment about the Sportsfest
event. They cleared out a section to record Seth talking to a customer (who had
a 5' tall horror doll - look for it on TV! We may even walk by in the
background, as we left when they were filming!).

Our final stop on our Sportsfest activity tour was dinner. We couldn't really
decide where to go, so we decided to try some place that none of us had been to
before - Hunter House Hamburgers on Woodward. The place really is a step back in
time to a greasy little diner. The food was decent, but I definitely needed to
order more patties on my burger! Well, that is all for this trip. Check back
with us next year!
