The things we do for our kids! Steve came home Friday with tickets to the Monster Truck/Extreme Motocross event for Saturday night. Claire was instantly excited, but Paige was rather nervous. The fact that they were called "Monster" trucks terrified her. So we spent Saturday afternoon "googling" them to show her they were not scary.
Once the girls adjusted to the weird sensation of earplugs, they had a great time! Paige kept turning aroung to tell Steve how "awesome" it was and how much she "loved this show!" They got really into it to and would chant things like, "Don't crush the van!" Claire just couldn't understand that although she couldn't hear herself talking, we still could, so she would just yell to us, which made Steve and I laugh.
This was our favorite truck, Jurassic Attack. I think the girls liked it best because it was the only one with a "girl driver", although she did do some pretty cool tricks.
Once we all got used to the noise, we had a great time. Even Bode fell asleep to the dull roar he could hear through his ear plugs, the blanket I had wrapped around his ears, the sling I was carrying him in and my hands over top. Can't wait for next year for some more redneck fun!

Looks like fun! We want to come next year!
We were at the 2:00 show, would have been fun to see you. Not what I expected, I actually thought you might see more of the Monster Trucks, should have been called Old Junker Races with highlights of the big trucks.
That sounds like lots of fun. Besides we are all a little rednecks right??
At least it wasn't wrestling...which sadly I have been to. How is Paige doing with the walking? We need to get together I haven't even seen Bode.
Looks like so much fun - are you going to be leaving soda cans around your yard now?
Tom wants to know if Stevo wor his "cop boots"? :) (good laugh from old times)
