This past Saturday Grand Rapids had a Car Show. We had a lot of fun walking around looking at all the old cars. Part of the show was a display of old Fire Trucks. Daniel walked through a fire safety house. We also watched a demonstration of how they get hurt people out of very bad wrecks. Daniel watched in awe as the firemen cut open the front wind shield of the car, then they cut off the doors, and then the roof! They did all of this in just a matter of minutes.
Daniel also learned the importance of wearing his seat belt. Although Daniel always wears his seat belt with no problems, the officer put Daniel in the seat belt convincer. This shows you the impact that you feel when you are in a wreck going 5 miles an hour. You get quite the jolt from this thing! When the car hit the bottom Daniel just goes "WOW!"
One of Daniel's favorite things there (actually probably his most favorite thing) was he got to play video games at the Best Buy tent. They had a real retired race car that he looked at. Then he got to play a virtual racing game. He was not tall enough to reach the peddles so the Best Buy man came and pushed down the gas for him. He did a pretty good job racing until the last lap he rammed into another car and did a flip, flew up in the air and landed upside down. Then his game was over. 
This is just one of the many cars we saw there. Daniel liked this one because it was the same color as "Flo" from the movie CARS.
