Monster Truck Rally!!!




We took the kids to a monster truck rally last night in a nearby town. For a little background on how we ended up there...Landon started watching Monster Jam on TV a while back with the recommendations from his neighbor buddies. He loves it (so does his dad) and Claire enjoys the show in short spurts also. So alas, we watched it in person. The kiddos were so excited when we got there! They got to walk around in the pits, talk to the drivers, climb on the trucks and take pics. They also got to ride in Sergeant Smash, a monster truck made like a military bus. Landon loved it, and the more it bounced around the more he giggled! Claire's decision is still out with the jury, she says it banged her around...alot! Then the races began. We realized very quickly that we would need earplugs, that covering with hands was not efficient. The kids found this amusing also. After a long night of cheering on the trucks (especially Hot Tamale, the kids favorite), it ended with a fire truck/jet engine melting some beat up cars. All in all a successful night of monster truck fun!
