monster jam.
instead of having a big birthday party ...
mason opted to take a few of his buddies to monster jam.
so we went.
and it was awesome.

14 people. 6 adults. 8 kids.

excited boys {and girls}.
and chaos.

the show was in downtown DC.
did i mention it was chaotic?
each adult was assigned a child. or two.
but i am pretty sure all 6 of us felt like we each had 8 kids to watch.
it was good. great teamwork.

all service men and women were called to stand.
fire and police men and women too.
we had a cop with us.
it was very touching.

the show was loud.
i'm not sure what i expected, but it was deafening.
thank goodness for ear plugs.
the illuminator was our favorite monster truck.
