of the boys Christmas Present was a ticket to the ArenaCross at the Van Andel Arena.We went early to enjoy the 'track party'. We were able to walk the track , get the autographs of the riders and participate in a contest.
Here the boys are on the finish line hill
Examining the track!
Trent collecting the autographs of the riders. That flag only cost me $5!
more autographs!
Tyler was picked to participate in a contest. Object--to get on the riding gear first! Shirt, pants, helmet & gloves
In action...
almost finished! He came in second...it was very close!
Here we are waiting for the show! We were early...so no one was around us yet!
Right before we spent $50 on dinner at the Arena! Not a good idea to feed a family of 5 dinner! Cheeseburger $4.50, large pop $4.25, personal pizza $6.50, popcorn $5.25, 20oz MD $3.50, ice cream $3.75.....
I tried taking pictures but the riders just look like a smear! Look close and you can see some in the air! We had great seats we could see everything from our angle!
They also did some freestyle jumps..which was pretty cool! One guy did a back flip...two different times..it was pretty amazing!
They had an injury so they had to do a single file re-start...that's the best picture I could get of the drivers!

We met the driver we rooted for down on the track...Kevin Johnson #115. He road for Team Faith. He won one of his heats and he even thanked God...cool! We thought that was impressive!
Next event we would like to go to Thunder Nationals...that would be the Monster Trucks! Talk about testosterone! If we go, we will have to eat before coming!! I was hoping the boys would want to go to the Bull Riding...no go!
It was a fun family event! We don't go to these venues often but it is fun once in awhile....a good Christmas Present!
