Monster truck show

HI ALL -
Well, it was Monster truck day at the Watts house yesterday. We got up at 9am and got ready to go. We dropped Dylan off with Grandma and Grandpa Lanka and we were off. A quick stop at Taco Bell to grab some grub, so as not to pay the 4 dollar hot dog price at the Tacoma Dome. We arrived to find parking was $10 dollars. Ouch!!! But we went on. We got in line to go inside to the pit party. We got to walk around and look at all the truck and the cars to be smashed up close and personal. I think we could have walked under them!! We saw a streched expedition. Very cool. The drivers were giving autographs. $5 dollar programs - so cheap. Made up for the parking. We got to see the little kids in their go carts and the demolition derby cars. Jeremy Jr and Tyler actually got to write their name on one of the cars. He ended up losing, but he gave a good fight. He pushed several cars at one time and caught on fire. Then, we hit the gift store - Gravedigger, Blue Thunder, and El Toro Loco hats for us. Then some flags and some spinning toys. A credit card later and we went to our seats. Very cool. Right up on the rail and no one in front of us. A national anthem and we were off. Jeremy Jr. and Tyler were rooting for El Toro Loco, but he was out early. Jen was with Blue Thunder the Ford Built truck, but he lost in the semi-finals to the winner and Jeremy's Gravedigger lost in the finals to 199. Very fun. There was a Brono in the pro-truck series, so that was pretty fun to cheer him on. All in all, it was cold, but very fun to get into it and root for someone. Tons of little boys there. We fit right in. Tyler had the time of his life. No earplugs necessary. Jeremy Jr wasn't feeling well and slept through some of it, but when he was awake - he was into it.
No plans tomorrow, just recovery from today.
