totally shocking!

i know you'll find this hard to believe, but as we were leaving the outer banks on saturday morning, we stopped at grave digger one more time. there was a legitimate reason though... dennis anderson, the driver of grave digger, was doing an autograph session that day. based on what we saw on the website, he only does a few a year so we just lucked out with the timing. we were able to get off the island super easily so we had some time to kill before the autograph session at 10. we decided to grab some breakfast at digger's diner, and man was it a great choice. we walked in and right away both jeremy and i noticed adam anderson, grave digger's son and driver of the taz truck and now the blue retro digger truck, sitting at the counter. he even scooted a seat over so that the four of us could sit together at the counter. we didn't say anything to him or anything, but it was very cool that Q got to sit next to one of his favorite monster truck drivers at breakfast (even if he didn't realize it!)

no longer naked

and they rolled out a couple of newer diggers for the occasion so happy

we got to peek in the garage

so many diggers

caroline even dressed for the occasion, with her grave digger shirt and her skull & crossbones hair bow. and sleeping beauty. she totally belongs at monster trucks.

amusing the kids in line with iphones. somehow we managed to end up 3rd or 4th in line for autographs.

meeting the man himself. he was so nice. he really took the time to talk to everybody, taking several minutes with each group, signing stuff, answering questions, and of course taking photos.

caroline would not let dennis hold her, so he picked up Q instead.
