Thunderslam 2009!

So... today marked a first in our lives. Bryan, I, and Carter were spectators at Thunderslam. What is Thunderslam, you ask? Let me educate you.

First you take the body of a basic truck. Let's say a Ford F-150. You multiply the normal horsepower by nearly 4 times, put the body on a GIANT frame, get a really LOUD exhaust system and you have "THUNDERSLAM" (aka) Monster Truck Racing. I never thought it would be something I would enjoy, but let me tell you, it was very impressive. We had an awesome time with our friends and their kids. Some of these pictures are priceless. Carter was such a great little boy and he had NO nap.

Regardless of the stereotype that goes along with this sport, there is much skill and talent that goes along with it. I didn't see one person in bib overalls, and I think 90% of the spectators had all of their teeth!

Could we make these changes to our van!! I think Kristi would love these new fetures when she was in rush hour traffic because if people didn't get out of her way she could simply drive over them. I'm glad you guys had a great time but I don't think I'm going to make it to Thunderslam 2009 when it comes to Seattle or Thunderslam 2010, 2011, 2012...maybe in 2013 Easton and Owen will talk me into going.
