Monster Trucks...Oh Yeah!

Pit party- before the show...
Brandon, Carter, and Nolan

Engines roaring! Loud! A Blast!

I didn't think it would sit real well with Nolan if Lilly and I left him in the dust...so, Mike arranged for the two of them to head down to the big Metrodome for the MONSTER TRUCK SHOW! Uncle Jason and his two cousins, Brandon and Carter were able to join them for the great manly, man event! We had seen commercials on T.V. and talked briefly about the possibility of him going someday, but weren't real sure of just when that day would be. Well, it just so happened to land on the same day as Sesame Street Live, so off they went to have a little fun of their own.

Mike located some "Pit Party" passes which gave them the opportunity to walk around and see all the big trucks in person before the show. The boys were amazed by their size... it makes me giggle to see the binoculars hanging around his neck (of course they were for later).

There were 16 trucks in the show, all of which had special attributes and stunts. Nolan particularly loved the Superman Truck. He informed me of the real Superman inside and the fact that it was able to crush an R.V. with just one blow! COOL! He brought home a toy replica and T-shirt. This was our main topic of conversation today...and I think it will be something he'll talk about and remember for a long time.

P.S. Because this was a male outing, Mike refused to take a camera...just too much to carry and keep track of he told me. He thought his phone would do the trick (and it did), but it's just not the same. Maybe the boys were able to enjoy the show more without their pesty mom/aunt in their face with the camera all the time. =0)
