look who we saw today!

we had just left Michaels and were heading home when we stopped at a red light and Max said:

 "Mom, look: it's Grave Digger!"  

"Yeah, cool" I said, seeing a sliver of a big black truck at Big O

"No, mom!  It's the real Grave Digger!"

"yeah, cool max, I see it...it's black and green like Grave Digger is, I can see why you think that."

"No mom...its the REAL Grave Digger."

Green light, I go...Holy Crap, it really is, Batman!  

We turned in, and got out of the car and the only thing I had on me was my stinkin' cell phone that doesn't take very good pics...dang!

So, knowing we had an hour and a half before he left, we ran back to the car, and headed home to grab our toy grave digger monster trucks and my camera...and we called the Monster Truck Briscoes to see if Nate-Dogg would want to come back with us!

So glad we did!

We hit EVERY red light on the way there...Nate's brother Jack said he had bad luck...it was his fault.  {he was so cute}

The boys were soooo excited!

 {nate, max, ivy and jack}

 It was the real deal!

 We met Charlie Paucken, the driver and he signed 3 trucks, one picture {drawn by Jack} and Nate's shirt {why didn't I bring Max's!?}

 I love this picture because Max was so excited the whole time!

 everybody had a chance to sit in the rim...

 duh-duh-dum-dum-dummmmmm...

 Seriously!, how awesome to get to see the REAL grave digger so up close and personal!  We loved it!  What a fun surprise!
