On the spur of the moment, we decided to take the kids to a Monster Truck show last night. We thought it would be extra fun to surprise them, and not even tell them where we were going until they got there. The suspense was killing them! When we got there Zack's eyes were wide as saucers, he was pretty excited. Sydney on the other hand must have had some other ideas on what a "super fun" destination would be because she was intially a bit put off that this event was the destination. I think she was envisioning Monkey Jump, Chuck E Cheese and water park all rolled into one instead.
We were pretty surprised at the loudness of the arena. Our first order of business was a beeline straight to the vendor table to buy some earplugs. Wow, they worked great! I may have other uses for those babies in the future.
It was pretty amazing to see those huge trucks go jumping around. Too bad the area wasn't a bit bigger because I'm sure they would really get some air, but it was cool none the less. They could have gone a little lighter on the sales promotions (Grave Digger hats anyone? How about a truck mug with a snowcone in it or a Digger Disc??). Overall the kids had a good time, and Sydney seemed to really get into it after a little while too.
