Monster Truck Maddness

.
So we finally got around to taking the kids to a Monster Jam show. To say they loved it is an understatement! When I ordered the tickets a few months back, I was wondering if we should find a sitter for Fletch or not. He's not the type to sit still to watch anything (except for a little Barney of course). Well, so I thought. Now I know, if it involves monster trucks, then he will sit for hours!
.
When we arrived (running behind as always), I quickly whisked the two youngest kids into the bathroom to empty their bladders before the show. We could hear some loud bands as the show got started and Fletch started yelling "Hurry, Hurry, Hurry, Hurry!" It completely caught me off guard. His speech is expanding so rapidly, I can hardly keep up!

.
He was totally mesmerized by the complete show. Not only were there trucks, but racing 4 wheelers, stunt riders on street bikes, and dirt bikes doing super cool tricks.

.

The whole show really was incredible to watch!

Even Gracie who was a little nervous at the thought of going, couldn't get enough of it.

.

.
We'll definitely be going back for another one in the future.

The driver of the kids favorite truck, the Grave Digger, decided to get out of his truck at the end of the show and come up to greet his fans right where we were sitting!

What a fun way to kick off our school year! This was my attempt to get the kids excited about the upcoming school year anyway. Can you hear me now? "As soon as it's time for school to start again kids, we'll get to go to the MONSTER TRUCK SHOW to celebrate!" There was a very rare question asked around our home, "Mom, how much longer 'til school starts?" Yay! I love success.
