Saturday morning we headed over to Gerten's Greenhouse to meet Santa. He was there with Mrs Clause, Dasher and Comet! We waited about an hour in line to meet Santa and it was totally worth it. Once it was our turn Colton ran right up to Santa, gave him a big hug and proceeded to tell him what he wanted for Christmas. After chatting with Santa and taking some pics we headed outside to take a ride in Santa's sleigh. Colton though it was pretty cool to get to go for a ride in a sleigh pulled by Santa's Reindeer!
Saturday afternoon we came home and took long naps so we would be ready for Monster Jam at the Metrodome that night. We rode the lightrail downtown, which Colton thought was pretty awesome and got to our 2nd row seats just in time for the show to start. The show was great. Colton spent most of his time cheering and laughing and snacking (Snow Cones and Dome Dogs) and covering his ears from the noise. The last event of the night was Grave Digger's Freestyle attempt. We had been waiting all night to see Grave Digger go over the big jumps, but after only 30 seconds on the course he flipped over and broke something in his truck and was unable to complete his run. Colton was crushed. He kept saying "Grave Digger is sad that he doesn't get another turn"! About ten minutes after the show ended, after coats were one and we were about to leave, he totally broke down and start bawling. He seriously was so sad. We even went and bought him a stuffed Grave Digger to make things better but it only lasted about one minute and then we was back to extreme crying. I felt so bad for him, I think he experienced his first heartbreak that night. But after lots of convincing he is now coping with the crash and even says he wants to go see Grave Digger again someday. Okay here are just a few pics from Monster Jam!
So Cute with Santa! Sorry to hear about Grave Digger :( Poor kid.
