Kace had gone early enough for Tyler to take pictures next to the trucks. He loved them!

Lincoln pizza face was excited to be there too!
I had to have proof that I was there too. It wasn't something I necessarily wanted to do, but went to watch my boys have fun.
Kace and Tyler patiently waiting for the show to start.
Ryan and Zack. He was such a good baby!
And of course Traves came along too!
Testing out the ear muffs. Because the boys couldn't hear while wearing them ... it made them louder! I know you can't hear it...but you can see how loud he was in this photo! Ha!
Ethan had a blast eating pizza, sitting in a new place and waiting for the trucks
All three little boys. This is about as good as it gets with three super wiggly kids!
The show was laid out so the trucks did a lap of something and then they asked the audience who had the toughest car. They had 3 people sign up and then they ran the course in between the monster trucks getting worked on. This was during the audience rounds.

So apparently the show was Friday and Saturday night. Mart thought it was only on Saturday. If we would have known, we would have gone Friday! Friday must have been a good show, because all of the trucks were damaged for Saturday night. The show started about 20 minutes late due to trying to get one up and running. Then they started and right after, the red truck broke on the course which meant lots more time fixing it. We probably 5 minutes of a show and then it was onto the audience running the course. Which lasted ... a while. They were going to bring out the monster trucks after that, but they were still trying to get them working ... so we went to a crazy long intermission. It was supposed to be like 20 minutes, and it ended up over an hour. After which, the truck was still too damaged to come out and we waited for almost nothing. They brought out the other two trucks for free style, which was semi-okay. It was just another couple of minutes and they promised that the red truck that was damaged would make it worth the wait when he finally came out.
He did come out and do freestyle right at the very end, and must have driven it as hard as he could because by the time he finished, something was leaking and there were sparks everywhere!
All in all...we watched about 5-10 minutes total of a show that we had sat and waited for for 3ish hours. Not worth it. It was kind of pricey to get in. There was a group of crazy upset people in the audience who stormed the ticket stand in the middle trying to get their money back. The police showed up to break it up!
After the show was over, we ended up getting each of us a $15 free t-shirt to make up for it, so that paid for our tickets.
If I was offered the chance to go to another local one, I'd probably turn it down unless we went the first night. It ended up being a more boring version of the demolition derby .. watching the audience cars fill in the all the gaps while the monster trucks were being repaired.
But, while the trucks were driving, it was kind of neat to see how big they were and how high they jumped in the air!
Here are some photos that Traves took during the show (Thanks Traves!)
Before the show, during intermission and after the show, this truck was giving ride on the track. The people seemed to be having a good time!
If you look close at this last picture, you can see the sparks under the truck!
Even though it ended up being pretty disappointing, I think my boys still had a fun time. They haven't stopped talking about monster trucks since!
