The Redneck Event of the Year

Monster Jam!!! This Saturday was a busy day, we were at the gym by 9am for Austin's basketball game, I still have not remembered to take the camera, there are only 4 weeks left so I better get on the ball. Right after the game, we headed to Amanda's dad and step mom's house to have lunch since we were going to be in their town for the Monster truck rally. We stayed a couple of hours, had lunch, Amanda got her hair trimmed since her Dad is an ex-beautician, and toured their cute apartment. Then it was time to head over to the Bilo Center for the main event. It was sort of like pro wrestling, staged 4 wheeler races between the north and the south with mock fighting and the whole nine yards. Then it was the monster trucks turn to dazzle us with loud noises and car crushing stunts. Somehow they got points for how high the front end went up and how fast they went over the crushed cars. Grave Digger was the favorite and every time he came out "Bad to the Bone" was played. Monster Mutt from Dogtown USA wowed us with "Who Let the Dogs Out" and chasing a giant bone. Great fun!! (tongue in cheek) The boys and Amanda seemed to enjoy it well enough but this is probably a once in a lifetime event.

Loving You Decorated My Life by Kenny Rogers on your playlist!! Gonna have to get that for my iPod. I seem to remember listening to that song way back when we lived in the townhouse in VA; seems eons ago; I think that's the last time I have heard the song. Thanks for the memories!!

Crista, It has been fun going down memory lane, some of these songs my Dad had on albums that we listened to.

Love your 80's music. It reminds me of the days when we had MTV girl hair and wore super short skirts, leggins and fishing lures for earrings - to church. We were so embarrassing.

Monster Jam?? I can just imagine the noise level! It would drive me nuts. Of course, in a family of all girls, thre is ZERO chance that we will visit a Monster Truck rally.
