Carpentering for the Carpenter

Brian, Suzanne, and family came up for a visit this last weekend. When they were making their plans I suddenly realized: "Hey, the Monster Trucks will be here that weekend." So, Saturday afternoon, Brian, Thomas , Mikayla, and I headed off to Grande Prairie to see the monsters perform. This was the first truck we saw. Quite impressive, and driven by a lady (er "redneck woman") too!

We went for a ride on "Firestorm." The kids were quite impressed! Yes, we were all up in those seats.



The performances, or races as they call them, were quite spectacular. Here you can see that the trucks literally fly over the cars as they crush some of them. I'll post some more truck pictures later.

The greatest monster of all was the smallest one. Smallest? He's not so small any more. This little "monster" now weighs in at 21 pounds and four ounces, and growing. When I was carrying him around, I was sure he was gaining about half a pound per second! We had a great weekend together. They were here from midnight Friday night to 7:00 O' clock Monday morning. The time together was nice. Had lots of fun as a family. Ron and Jen joined us for the evening Sunday. Wish Jon could have joined us.
