Vegas - Baby!!!

Wow, I hadn't realized it had been so long since I had posted on my blog! I do apologize to all my devoted fans out there! LOL!!

So as luck would have it, Aaron and I were fortunate enough to have one of our loving sister and newphew to come and stay with our kids while we traveled out of town for an "extended weekend" with Lynn and Megan Dannenberg! We were able to find nice hotel in Mesquite, NV and travel down to Vegas for one day to watch the National Monster Truck Jams! I know what you are thinking.... HUH? She can't be serious right? Well too bad ! I am totally serious. And since we are being serious, I will tell you right off the bat, that I was not too thrilled about it. I mean hey, we got a screaming good deal on the tickets last minute from a friend from High School, that I have recently connected with on Facebook, and they were unable to use them. AND how we were already planning on going to Mesquite for that weekend anyway, why not have a little fun in Vegas too right? I loved every bit of that show. It was so FUN!!! These monster trucks, jacked up HIGH with these HUGE wheels, racing and jumping, and climbing, and smashing.... Totally AWESOME! I know I sound like such a hillbilly, but dang cussin good times!!! LOL !

Here are some pics I took of the show! They are only from my phone cuz, I forgot my camera! Sorry for the quality!!



This was one of the coolest cars! I had to take a picture cause it is so cool!!! Who doesn't love BATMAN!

Here is Megan standing next to the wheels... GINORMOUS RIGHT? see- Told ya :)

This was the beginning of the show... all the trucks came out running around making their engines roar, fireworks, pyrotechnics, etc. A THRILL!!!

This is an example of what they did, two trucks would come out from either side of the stadium, race to the other end, round a corner, and then jump this big dirt mound and whichever truck made it over the line first went to the next round! One truck was coming so fast around the corner, he ended up in the bottom rows of the stands! (they don't seat people on the first 15 or so rows because of that!)

The rest of these pics are of the "FREESTYLE" round where one car would come out for 2 minutes and do all sorts of jumps, tricks, crashes etc to get points. Totally awesome. And they were all so gung-ho about it. The final freestyle of the season so they didn't seem to care to much about what damage it did to their trucks!! SO AWESOME!!!


Who's coming with me next year?????
