Thunder Nationals!


That's just a fancy way of saying "Monster Trucks", folks.  We went downtown to Van Andel Arena for the show, and it was "not quite what we expected" and "pretty much exactly what we expected", sort of all at the same time.

For starters, there were monster trucks, and they jumped over wrecked cars.  And it takes a certain kind of person to attend this event, ahem.  But it wasn't very crowded, and I think the main issue was the venue:  It's too small for this event.  There was no mud or dirt, and the trucks couldn't really turn around well or build up any momentum before they had to slam on the brakes to avoid a wall, or each other.

That said, it was a fun event for the kids, and no expense was spared!
