MONSTER TRUCK NATIONALS!!!!!!!

Here we are before Monster Truck National at the Assembly Hall Saturday night. It started at 7:30PM ( Alaric's bedtime) so we weren't sure how it would go. He was sure excited.

There were 5 monster trucks. Alaric's favorite was the grey one.

You had to wear earplugs. Thank God Bri thought to bring some home from work. Not only were the cars loud but the music too.

Here they are all running around

While the big trucks were getting ready to do something cool, these itty bitty trucks ( smaller than a golf cart) came out for races. HArd to see but the one on the left is red and his name is Mater for the movie CARS. Thats who we rooted for. He rallied but never won.

SOOOOOOO many kids there. THOUSANDS of them. Poor little guy three seats down from us had a very intense MULLET. He seemed to be having fun though.

Alaric loves seeing the cars get crushed!

Alaric brought his own monster truck with him. he tried to make his truck do what the big trucks were doing.

Then, a scary machine came out and inside the machine came this dragon that breathed fire....

...and ate an entire car!!!!!! It scared Alaric. It was too much for us all. At 9:20PM we left.

Our son who talked about the show for days mostly just sat there. We were concerned he was sick. But by the time we drove to my parents house to pick up Amara, he couldn't stop talking about it. He was so dramatic about each detail he recalled.

He seemed to love it. It was a fun show and I'm now glad I have one of those under my belt however I think that's it for me-DONE!!!
