Monster Truck Show!

Remember the first year we went to the Monster Truck Show in Canberra? It began the boys obsession with Monster trucks!

We went back the following year and watched the show in the sleet and freezing cold! After that the M.T Show didn't come back to Canberra! So when we heard there was going to be a Boxing day show in Sydney we packed the boys up!

We took Grumpy with us and when he saw you could have  a ride in a truck for $10 he felt it would be well worth the money and put the boys and their dad in a truck!

 Look closely a the look on Ben and Rye's face. They are super excited! Now check out Matthew's face! He was so NOT! He really didn't want to do it but we didn't give him an option and when he got off he was so glad he did it!

Then they all got their photo taken sitting on the tyre of Raptors Revenge! 

 Rye was a little hesitant because of the height!

 Ben LOVED it!!!!

 This year they had these mini monster trucks which the boys got to sit in. Now you can only imagine the excitement for these three M.T mad boys! Funnily enough only the day after Christmas they were placing one of these each on their list for next Christmas!

 Rye, with his missing tooth so looks like "Bubba in his truuuck!" He was just missing his denim overalls!

 Spot was Matthew's favourite truck this year.

 Benny having a look inside the jet engine. Matthew's more worried they were going to start it up when we was standing near it! He is such a worry wart!

 Grumpy and Nathan talking to the owners about the fully sick jet car and Nathan enquiring about the aeronautical engineering properties!

 The boys insisted Grumpy have his photo taken with the Ford Truck. However, he was massively disappointed to find out it had a Chevy engine underneath it all! The driver, Kreg Christenson signed Ben's Scooby Doo cap as he is the usual driver of Scooby Doo.

 The boys sizing up the Jet Quad bike! There were lots of "Fully sick mate" comments made!

 Haven't we all grown up since the first Monster Truck Photo!!!

 The Mini Monsters in action. Not sure how we are going to get out of delivering these for Christmas next year!

 And on with the show! There was heaps of cheering and yelling!

 Our little spot! It drizzled all night but it was hot enough not to be a bother.

 Nathan getting all arty with the smoke and fire from the jet car.

 I will never, never get why it is entertainment to burn a car with a jet car's fire! But boys get it apparently and it is hugely entertaining!

Now check this out!
