2014 Progressive Insurance Chicago Boat, Sports & RV Show

Untitled drawing

This last weekend, my family and I attended the 2014 Progressive Insurance Chicago Boat, Sports & RV Show and had a blast! We are actually in the market for getting a pop-up camper (and we may have found the one we are getting at the show!), so this was perfect for us this year. I always like to show you guys how family friendly these shows are! Here's a few of the things we did:

– Met John Godwin from the hit A&E television show, Duck Dynasty.

– The kids did the Rockin’, Rollin’ Bubbles. It is the latest craze in water walking sports. Act like a crazy hamster or pretend it’s a log rolling competition, all while inside large inflatable rollers on a pool. (The funny thing is that the red blob in the background is Bill. I didn't realize I even got him in the picture until I showed it to him!)

    I love browsing RVs! It’s so fun to dream about the trips we’d take and how I’d relax at a campground. Although I’m pretty bad at relaxing, actually. Maybe someday!

    Looks like it was a lot of fun. I’ve never been to one of these shows besides the car show in NYC. My boys would enjoy this.
