Last Saturday, Mama "took one for the team" and took me to US Diesel Truckin' Nationals at
Raceway Park in Englishtown. We heard about it on the radio and when Mama and I heard monster trucks and diesel trucks in the same commercial, we both got pretty excited (although, I'm guessing Mama's excitement was more for me). Even though it was hot as can be and even more humid, we really did have a blast. I'm pretty sure Mama even had fun (you can take the girl out of the woods....).
The trucks were super cool! I got to climb and look inside and even spin the rims on some. There was one that had a super loud train horn that a man kept blowing, prompting me to shield my little ears in Mama's leg. We even went into the grandstand to watch some of the big rigs race, which was really neat. There was so much action, I couldn't believe it. It would've been cool to stay into the night because I heard talk of fireworks, but we both pooped out after a few hours. How many mullets can one really see?
I should note that I had my first official ice cream blooper while I was there. Mama bought me a cone and it was so high that I took one lick and PLOP, right on the ground. Thankfully, the lady was kind enough to get me a new (and much smaller!) one. I giggled about it all afternoon!
