Monster Truck Show

This was our first ever Monster Truck Show. We went to Montgomery on Saturday, January 10th. There were six Monster Truck that raced and jumped cars. Adam and Blake thought it was the best thing ever.
When we were walking up to the coliseum, they did not want to put on the ear muffs. They thought they were to big and not in style. Even though the color matched their shirt's, they are extremely conscience about their looks. But, as soon as we heard a truck crank up while we were standing in line, they wanted the ear muffs immediately! Then style did not matter to them any more.
Not sure what is going to happen!?

Adam will always stop and smile for the camera.
The purple truck is Magic Mopar. The blue truck is Storm Crusher. The black truck is Rock Star. Rock Star won every race and had the highest jumps. One time, he almost flipped over backwards! I started to panic, but he is a very good driver and switched it to reverse and made his truck land on the tires, thankfully.

Miss. Behavin' is the first female driver in this Monster Truck Division. I do not know what division that is, but she is CRAZY.


This is Storm Damage doing donuts during the donut competition. Adam wanted to take a picture. He caught this truck on two wheels. What a great picture, Adam!!
During breaks for the trucks there were four-wheeler racing. A team from Alabama and a team from Florida. Florida won one race, and Alabama won two races. Adam and Blake thought it was neat to see them race, but it was not the best part of the show. The best part to them was the dirt bike tricks. The riders would ride up a ramp and do tricks in the air, and then regain control and land on another ramp. If they missed, something would go majorly wrong. They would have landed on the concrete floor of the coliseum. I was nervous. They would do handstands on their bikes in mid air! Some would even do a no-hander! I am thinking the entire time, "Oh, good, teach Adam and Blake another trick that they can try on their bikes at home!" Yes, Adam and Blake are both trying new stunts on their bikes that they got for Christmas. Boys will be boys. We really had a great time. It was fun spending time together doing something that everyone could enjoy, and that was not on the usuall list of fun things.
God has blessed us with a great family.
