RC Monster Truck

The first couple of weeks of January were beautiful.  We had sunshine and it wasn't too cold, and so Owen got to spend some time playing outside.  Since I have already put away his sand box for the winter we had to find something else for him to play with, and so I found the remote controlled monster truck that he had been given a while back and let him play with it on the cement slab in the back yard.

At first he tried to make the monster truck race his dump truck, but that didn't work too well since he can control the monster truck with a remote, but the dump truck runs on muscle power.  Needless to say, only one truck was able to move at a time :).

After he gave up on racing he spent a good solid half hour just playing with the monster truck.  He would start the truck on one end of the cement, run it as fast as he could off the other side and on to the grass and then start all over again.  I tried to show him that he could back it up and keep it on the cement, but he would rather just have it go fast and then chase after it.

As you can tell from his expressions in the pictures, he had a lot of fun playing outside with his monster truck, and he has the same fun playing inside with a RC Mater (from Cars) that he got for Christmas - but for the time being Mater is an inside toy.  I think that we're going to keep having a lot of fun with cars, trucks and other things that go fast around our house.
