Monster Truck Madness!

Last Saturday Peter took Parker on a "daddy date" to the Monster Truck Rally here in town. Yes, you can call us white trash. Parker was so excited to go, but we were a little nervous about how he would handle the noise factor (remember this?). They armed themselves with all sorts of fancy earplugs and headed out for the adventure!

As you can imagine, Parker was in heaven. He lasted a whole hour inside the arena, meaning he was really desperate to watch those trucks considering the noise! He loved the "Tailgator" truck the best, which was made to resemble an alligator and had "jaws" protruding from its grill.
After an hour of watching inside, they headed out to the t.v.'s to munch some popcorn and watch the rest from the quiet of the concessions. They ended the "date" with a McDonald's ice cream cone - Parker's favorite. And now he is having fun recreating the monster truck show with his own cars!

That is SOOO cool!! I can only imagine he will remember that the rest of his life! Daniel and Andrew are going to a Bucks basketball game Friday night. Abby and Eliza are having a couple friends over for a girls night. Good times.

Gavin went to one of these with Christopher a few years ago and he STILL talks about it! SO COOL! Every little boy needs to experience a Monster Truck show in their lives! How fun! And hooray for daddy\son dates!

I'm so glad that Parker had a great time! That is something all little boys should do with their Dads, bond over huge, loud vehicles!
