Grandson/MonsterJam

Took my grandson to the monster jam in Reno last night. The show was all pretty predictable until the last moment when the big trucks went through their 'freestyle' event. Gravedigger who had gotten beat earlier put on a display that was so far above and beyond that he put a giant exclamation point on the whole show. He launched that truck so high in the air that I was just certain something had to break. It didn't. My grandson looked at me and said "this is the best day of my life!"
