It's a boy thing

We went to Monster Jam tonight. Parts of it were fun. Occasionally I imagine that my minvan has ginormous wheels and I could crush people. It was nice to see someone actually get that frustration out and crush a couple of cars. I'd love to drive a monster truck for a good 15 minutes. I loved to see the little kids haul ass on their minirature dirt bikes. They were really cute.

For the most part it was 100% pure boy stuff. I could have done without the redneck quad racers scrapping in the dirt over a trophy.

I did enjoy seeing my kids in total awe from seeing their toys more than life size. I know in the morning Luke will have a whole new take on his monster trucks. It was his first time at an arena event with a huge crowd. People were clapping and cheering before the trucks came out and he was down with it. He was yelling and clapping and didn't have a clue what was going on. He just knew there was a good time to be had. He had a complete WTF look on his face when the trucks came out. It was priceless. The boy came out in him and he pumped his little fist and said "Yeah!!" Thomas was all cool, kicked back. He had seen it before so he knew what was going on. He did say that Luke was funny. :) After intermission an old school toyota minivan and a knight rider mini van came out. The boys behind me told me that they were transformers and they were going to battle. I think it was the cheesiest thing I've ever seen but the boys were impressed. I think the husband was into it too.

I think next year I'll pass on the Monster Trucks.
