Anyway...for the past year or so my dad has been searching for a monster truck show in the area to take Max to. He found one in the Quad Cities and it worked out to go last Saturday! I didn't even tell Max until Saturday morning. I was so worried he would get sick and I couldn't bear to see the disappointment if he couldn't go. When I told him, he was thrilled and could not wait to go! He got out all of his monster trucks and his books and patiently waited for Grandpa Roger to arrive!
The original plan was going to be to take Max to Camanche (a town halfway between here and the Quad Cities) to watch my cousin Kylie play tennis, but since the weather was so crummy, it got cancelled. Back-up plan was to take Max to Chuck E. Cheese in Davenport! He had never been to one, but has seen many commercials so he was in heaven there and according to my dad, did not want to leave!
My dad bought passes to the pit before the show so they were able to get right up close to the trucks and meet some of the drivers! They were also able to spend a fortune on all of the monster truck souvenirs. Among other things, my dad paid $15 for a snow-cone and some plastic cup to go with it!!
The show itself was great, but a little bit scary at times according to Max. Apparently at one point a truck turned into an alien or something like that. He was exhausted and fell asleep less than a mile from the event center! They drove in at 10:30 and Max went right to sleep face paint and all:) What a wonderful memory for him...so glad he got to go and spend some quality one-on-one time with his Gramps:) Now Mya thinks she's going to a princess show with Grandma. Guess you better start looking for tickets Mom!

Reading this post gave me tears in my eyes - what an awesome memory for both your dad and Max! Love the pictures too - such obvious happiness. Hmmm...how exactly do we go about searching for a princess show???
Did you just say Max has never been to a Chuck-E-Cheese?! Why have you been sheltering him so? Looks like he had an awesome time with his Grandpa!
