Monster Truck Jam 2007







Oh to be a kid again. Ok I really did turn into a kid. We had a blast . We headed out Saturday and met Jackie, Albert , Bricen, Jessica, Troy and Payton at Food lion in Lakewylie at 3:00 to head to the 2007 Monster Truck Jam at Lowes Motor Speedway dirt track. I regret so bad not having our camcorder to record the ooohhhs and awwwwss from those little boys. Their eyes were so big it was priceless. If you took a can of full throttle energy drink you got into a pre pit show for free. You could get up close and personal with the super duper monster trucks. Sage couldn't belive just how big the tires were. He was more amazed at the tires than the trucks.
After the pit show we headed out in the very hot hot hot weather (poor jessica who is 6 months prego) to eat our tailgate food. Troy grilled us hotdogs that were so good. Jackie made up homemade to die for choclate chip cookies and brownies. The boys really didn't care about the food they were just playing on a blanket with their Match box monster trucks. Payton was nice enougth to suprise them with grave digger isn't that sweet?
With a full belly and relaxed we headed up to the track for the race. To see all that dirt is what the boys couldn't belive. Deep down I know Sage was thinking he could get real dirty in that. They started off with dirt track cars racing and crashing that was pretty funny. Then here come the monster trucks all loud and big . You would have thought Sage had been to one of these shows before due to his cheering , screaming and arms waving in the air it was so funny. He just kept screaming Yeah go trucks .
It ended very late and the boys did fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We will definetly be going back again..Sage will make sure of it..

Hey! Thanks for your comments! I have really been thinking about Weight Watchers, cause I know quite a few people who have lost crazy weight on it, so I guess I just need to do it! I just have NEVER struggled with my weight, so this is a new experience! :(
