monster trucks at the fair (again)

we didn't think the monster trucks were going to be at the fair again this year but then we found out they were.  so we drove up to MA for labor day weekend to see monster trucks.  and framma and frampa too.

intensely waiting

there were good trucks there this year.  like real, recognizable ones.  ones he has toy replicas of.

brutus

avenger

megabite

wrecking crew.  aka ginny's truck.

yay!  it's starting!

don't get any ideas, kids.

i forbid you from doing this

and this.

and this.

and most definitely this.

getting dirty

a crush car painted like grave digger?  so cool

surprisingly, pickle really enjoyed the trucks

after the show, Q got to meet the drivers.  they all signed one of his trucks.

then he played in the empty stands for a while.  the long bench seats are just screaming for monster truck racing.  the brutus driver even came over and played with him for a few minutes after the autograph line ended.

admiring the avenger k'nex set we snookered out of mommy

we had so much fun that we went back the next day and did it all again.

on a monster truck ride with mommy

same trucks as the previous day, but this time a girl "drove" wrecking crew.  i use the quotes because she didn't drive for the wheelie contest or for freestyle.  she did "drive" for racing, except that she left the truck in reverse and went backwards at first.  insert woman driver joke here.  but caroline was super excited that a girl was driving.

Q took this picture.  he likes taking pictures.

then it was caroline's turn to get autographs.  the girl driver signed her flag.

 

caroline even got the motorcycle dudes' autographs
