This past Saturday was a Super Saturday or a Family Fun day for us. We had a great time, in fact so much fun I have to show you some pictures. We started by taking the children to the airport for some free airplane rides. Three of our four got to go up for a short flight. It was their first time to experience flying and as luck would have it they loved it. Now they want to go again. Maybe the next time Stan makes is way out here in his plane I will have to trade him some snakes for some plane rides for the kids. Any ways they thought looking down and seeing the town how it looks from above was really cool.
Then from there it was off to the Monster trucks. We have never made it to the Monster show before. Grave Digger was there and is this guy insane or what? Check out this shot, he came in at who knows what speed turned the wheel and slid in the spot you see him in here in this photo. I do not know how he got that truck in that small spot but it was cool to watch. Must be that quad steering or something. Then his first heat he stood the truck straight up and nearly lost it.
This picture shows it going up but the camera was not fast enough to catch him on the next bounce but we thought it was all over. He recovered but it was close. As you can guess he won every round. One of the rigged shows where he was the star. In fact he did not win the last race but they said he did.
I think the other guy probably got this but kicked after we all left. You are not supposed to win the star attraction. Any ways one more thing. The free style motorcycles were cool as well. Check these guys out, they make it look so easy. I am afraid I am going to see my son Scott out on the tractor making ramps soon in the back yard.
You should have seen his face light up watching these guys get air. It was really a good time. If you have not been to one of those shows you should go. Just to smell the nitro methane made it worth it to me.
Yesterday we had a pre eggs shed. You know what that means. The first clutch of 2004 will be hatching in mid February. Looks like the incubator will not be getting a rest this year. This will actually be nice. It is usually a drag to shut it down as that is where most of the excitement takes place. Once it goes off it seems like it takes forever before more snakes hatch. So be watching in February for that first clutch. That is all for now. Have a great day.
