What an adventure!!

Yesterday Mike and I took the kids to the Rockingham County Fairgrounds. Mike won tickets from the radio to the Big Game Show they were hosting there. The kids were free so our admission was cost free. The main purpose of the show was for hunters and outdoor people, but our reason for going was the fact that the monster truck, Virginia Giant, was there giving free rides. Ever since taking him to a monster truck show last summer, Ryan has been a HUGE fan of the monster trucks. He was quite excited about it!

After getting our van stuck in the out of control mud, in the grassy, melting snow plowed parking area (there were two tractors there pulling people out of the mess),
Mike and the kids got on the Virginia Giant truck. The ride was pretty quick, but they LOVED it!!!

































Once they finished their ride, we went inside to the Game Show. They had some baby bear cubs, a wolf, mountain lion and tiger cubs too. The kids enjoyed watching the bears. They were playing, but the other cubs were just resting.






We went by the new Transformers edition Camaro, that was on display, it looks like Bumblebee from the movie. Ryan was in complete awe! He kept talking about how if Bumblebee transformed he would be so tall and would poke a hole in the roof. He kept asking about it transforming and notified us that he wanted to have this car. :) We think he thinks it WAS Bumblebee. :) After getting balloon animals, we headed home. What a fun day!!

Ack! So sorry you got stuck!! We didn't have any problems other than the kids being covered in mud themselves. Glad you had a good time though. Frances thought is was Bumblebee too! :)
