Last weekend I went home with Luke, a student in Mr. Salsich’s class. After we unpacked and settled in, Luke and I played some video games on his Playstation.
*
The next day we drove to New Jersey to watch “Monster Jam” – a monster truck show at the Izod Center. It was amazing! If you don’t know what a monster truck show is, it is an event where HUGE trucks race around a track and jump over ramps and cars. They even drive right over old cars!
*
There is even a monster truck named Taz! Unfortunately, he wasn’t at Monster jam though 🙁
*
It was a lot of fun and I got a souvenir from the show.

After the show we got to see the Empire State Building in New York City. We took a picture of it from across the Hudson River.
Then we drove back to Luke’s house in Connecticut. What an exciting day!
*
The next day was Superbowl Sunday! The New York Giants played the New England Patriots for the championship of American Football. I enjoyed watching the big game and seeing all the funny commercials. Luke’s family are New York Giants fans, so they were very happy when the Giants won.
Here I am in a Giants’ hat after their big victory:
The game was exciting, but I think I’d still rather watch rugby – some of the rules in American Football were a little confusing!
*
I had a fantastic weekend with Luke and his family!

G’day Davo and Luke,
I am so glad you were careful when you were at the truck show. I would have hated to hear you were squashed under a huge tyre and become roadkill like your relatives are here in Tasmania.
I thought there was going to be snow up there in the North Eastern states of the USA?
Dear Mr Davo-Luke,
Great post! Yes, I have been to a monster truck show before. I thought it was awesome but my sister said that she was going to die of boredom.
Your friend,
Joey
Dear Joey,
That is why you do not bring girls to monster truck shows because they say it is boring but after a couple minutes they get sucked right into it then they might say it is awesome but if they don’t they are thinking it I think.
Your friend,
Luke
Dear Luke,
I love your post.I have been to a lot of Monster Jam I think I have been to at least three of them.How much have you been to?
Your friend,
Luke
Dear Mr. Davo,
I went to a moster truck show with my friend a few years ago. It was LOUD!
