Valentine's Day - At MONSTER JAM!

So we reached a new level of hillbilly-ness this year. We took the boys to Monster Jam in Portland on Valentine's Day! (Don't worry, Curtis and I went dancing that night too.) It was a riot. If you ever get the chance to take a 4-12 yr old boy to see gigantic trucks smashing cars, take it! (Plus the people watching is unbelievable!)







Bricker with our monster truck buddies, Brenda & Ro Bottema
(Lucky was with us in spirit too!)

The whole day was awesome, but the three best parts were:



#1 Our section getting picked to root for GRAVE DIGGER (our hero.) If he'd won we would have got free food at Jack in the Box...oh well. :(

















#2 El Toro Loco ROLLING OVER and busting off his horns. So cool.



















#3 Watching one of the local truck drivers ROLL then keep GOING! I'll never forget it, plus I have it on YouTube! (See my sidebar).

It is so fun to see your blog. Hillbillies??? I lived there for a short while and it was great, beautiful, and peaceful. Glad to have you in blogland and I look forward to your updates. Maybe next time when I make a trip out we can get together.

Trey says "I like the monster truck show. And I like the pond picture and the 4-wheeler picture. I REALLY hope we can visit you guys sometime."
