There's No Such Thing As Monsters...

Unless of course they're MONSTER trucks!

And that's EXACTLY what they were (and dirt bikes and derby trucks and dune buggies and...)!

The kids had heard about a monster truck show that was coming to the local fairgrounds. Both B and I tried to win tickets on the radio but were unsuccessful. Big A took this VERY hard but at the last minute we were able to purchase tickets and see the show. I wish I had before and after pictures of Big A's face. The facial expressions and tears when he found out we weren't going to the show and then the ones when he found out we WERE going to the show, were about the same! I love that boy and his emotions!

Little A and I rode in a monster truck. SOOOO FUN (And maybe just a LITTLE bit scary!)! The boys (Big A and his friends we'd run into on our way into the show) wouldn't ride although after watching the show they changed their mind so Grandma took them for a ride at the end.

The show started with introductions of all of the monster trucks and their drivers as well as introductions of the two dirt bike riders. After the introductions the dirt bikes put on an awesome show! The show consisted of two riders and two ramps. They did crazy stunts, flips, etc., and ended with BOTH riders doing flips together! AMAZING!!

Then the monster trucks took the 'stage'. I've never seen anything like it!

After the monster trucks practiced a little bit, the street legal derby trucks came out followed by the dune buggies and then the suped up derby trucks. Finally the monster trucks returned to do their competition. I'm a little confused as to why it's called a "Monster Truck Show" since of all the time we were there, only about 1/4 (And that's being VERY generous!) of it was actually the monster trucks, but it was fun, nonetheless!

Don't tell Big A, but I can't wait to go again!
