We thought about maybe travelling home to see Chris's parents today, but those plans changed once we got a call from a friend of Chris's. Every year this friend offers us free tickets to see the Monster Truck show, and believe it or not, our girls LOVE it! Today was the last day to go.
We find that the length of the show is too much and the seats are in the so called 'nosebleed' section, but we have fun anyways. Personally I like where our seats are each year. We're quite high up, but we can see over the whole track.
We arrived at 1pm to pick up our free tickets at the back entrance, and the show did not start until 2pm. We left at 5pm since Beth and Anna just could not stand any more. Having to sit for that long, combined with the noise and fumes was just too much. We watched the last of the monster truck free style and then left. There was still a demolition derby left to see (cars, not monster trucks), but we had to get out of there. We see one or two demo derby's every summer anyways, and Chris's brothers and brother in laws are often driving or in the pit crews at those ones, so it's more fun for the girls to watch those ones.
Don't be deceived by the name of the show leading you to believe it's all Monster Trucks though. Actually there is less time devoted to monster trucks than anything else, but they are what draws the crowds in. Along with the trucks there is motocross racing, super cycles, tough truck racing and souped up ride on lawn mower racing!
Here are a couple more pictures. Unfortunately I don't know how many more pics I'll be taking in the future since during the Monster Truck show the cars were not the only things that got crushed. Our camera experience and crunching of it's own when it got folded in an arena seat and now the LCD screen is cracked inside. The display just shows a mess of black and white now with cracks. It still takes pictures okay, you just have to use the old fashioned view finder and you can't changed any of the options on the menu. I guess we'll be camera shopping one of these days.

Marc and Owen were at the Sunday show. HE loved it but was a little tense with the loudness of it all. He has been watching a show about Monster Trucks (everyday) so he was eager to go see it. I think their tickets were where the trucks came out.
I went to see Monster Trucks when DH and I were dating...that's the last time. He keeps wanting to take Kinsey but haven't made it yet. I'm sure she would love it.
