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.
pre-show pit party passes.
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.

lunch arrangements for 14 people was hard.
restaurants were packed.
i want a cheeseburger!
i want a quesadilla!
i want a chocolate shake!
i want a brownie!
oy.

before the show ...
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.

we stood for the star spangled banner.
our little cub scouts knew exactly what to do.

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.

actually, the lobster was pretty cool.
crushstation.
he got a flat tire.
he's wild like that.



who had the idea to change grave digger?
not nearly as cool.
that dude sure can fly though.



did i mention it was loud?


sometimes exhaustion overrides loud.
my nephew.
i could smooch those eyelashes all day.

mason and alex.
buds since diapers.



$10 snow cones.
worth every penny.
no?

a great day had by all.
Looks like a grand time! $10 snowcones are ALWAYS worth it :)
