MONSTER TRUCKS!!

Friday, 9-18-09

The Puyallup Fairgrounds

I was a little hesitant to take the kids to the monster truck show because of the horrific accident at the Tacoma Dome, but I knew that Zach would love it. We brought their bike helmets for protection. :-)

He sees the monster trucks for the first time.

Elissa sees them and is asking if we are going to ride them....yep!

We waited in line forever and were the
lucky enough to get the last ride on Airborne Ranger Too (camo truck).

Climbing up the very tall ladder.

The ride's in motion!

We all thought it was so awesome!!

Now for the show!
Zach loved it, but the rest of us were not so impressed after the first couple of trucks jumped. A little boring, but so worth it to give Zach and Lissy the thrill.

Our 2nd ride!
Zach got to sit up front with the driver this time. He was pretty much emotionless - I think he was just overwhelmed and maybe a little scared?? During the ride he intently watched the driver. Maybe he has decided to be a monster truck driver when he grows up. :-)

I'm sad this is out of focus, but I love the expression. :-)

It was a really fun night!
(a whole 'nother story about the huge frustration with getting the monster truck rides, but I'm leaving that in the past hee, hee)
