When we found out the Bremer County Fair was having Monster Truck Monday we knew we had to go! The boys were so excited to go see real monster trucks! We got to the fair before as the trucks were unloading and we got a close up look at several monster trucks and even got to watch them put them together! From a distance both boys were shouting with happiness and were so very excited. As we started walking towards the trucks they got more and more timid. Mark and I tried to get them pumped up to go ride one and both boys stayed back. We finally convinced them to at least get close, but they really did NOT want to ride. Isaiah finally agreed to it even though he really didn't want to and we pretty much just forced Levi to do it (knowing he'd love it and be so sad if he didn't ride it). Throughout the ride both boys looked really nervous and I couldn't tell if they were enjoying it, but as soon as the ride came to an end Isaiah shouts, "that was awesome!!!!!" and Levi was so excited that he wanted to do it again right away!
Here we are before the ride began:
and afterwards in front of the monster we rode on.
Here's one of the monster trucks we saw being put back together.
Checking out the blue Dragon Fly
And the boys' absolute favorite - the Corvette Monster Truck!!
We then found our friends Jill and Lily and had a sweet treat to cool off
and then it was back for a second monster truck ride. This time Isaiah got to ride in the front passengers seat! He was soooooooo excited about this!
We did go to check out the animals, but they had not arrived at the fair yet, except this one lonely bird.
We opted to head home for dinner and bathes since we had spent several hours in the hot sun rather than stay for the monster truck show that started at 7:30.
The next two days Adrenaline X Mobile Laser Tag was offering laser tag at the fair. Mark and I (and our helper Austin) had lots of fun helping kids of all ages (adults included) enjoy playing laser tag together. LeAnna had the boys for us both days and brought the boys and Caiden up to the Crashing Combine Derby and the play laser tag. I'm not sure which they enjoyed more. They still play crashing combines and talk about the show regularly, but also had a blast playing laser tag.
In the next two pictures you'll see our boys playing next to our friend Lily and Caiden in the background.
