Last month, the Nutcracker. This month, the monster truck show! We're trying to raise well-rounded boys :)
We went early to see the trucks and walk around on the track. Alex was excited to spot the truck that matched his little hot wheels version - the Monster Mutt Rottweiler. He was lucky enough to cheer his truck all the way to the finals, but it lost to Gravedigger.
He took the chance to race his own truck for a few minutes before we had to leave the track.
Ben spotted his favorite car - one of the old junkers that was about to get run over! This kid loves old cars. He ended up pulling for River Rat because it looked pretty old.
Pizza, popcorn, cotton candy, deafening noises, and dirt in the air. It was little boy heaven for these two.
First, we got to warm up with a little quad racing.
Then the big boys came out for some head-to-head races.
The crashes were pretty awesome!
The heavy equipment got plenty of use pulling the trucks upright and towing them off.
Next, we got to see a great demolition derby race.
A car on its side? No problem! Keep racing!
Happy boy waiting for the most exciting part - the freestyle competition where the monster trucks jump and crush anything they want.
Our seats were perfect! We were so close to all the action.
Some of the jumps were pretty incredible!
My favorite moment was the truck that attempted a flip right in front of us.
He hit the ground so hard our feet shook. Pretty amazing!
I did not think I would enjoy this so much, but it was so entertaining watching all the jumps and tricks.
One of the last competitors was Gravedigger and he went out in fiery style. What a great night. I have the feeling we'll be back again next year!
