from our seats with our glamorous snack!

We've been here ALL day! Going nuts!

Jack & his binoculars:) and we both have ear plugs!

Well we took the plunge and spent the day with the famous Monster Trucks of the racing circuit. The same trucks we start our morning off with EVERY DAY ..7 am and those trucks are roaring on the screen on my way to the coffee pot! Over the last few years, the boys have become obsessed with them, naming each one, owning most of the miniatures, recreating races and crashes and Jack's favorite "Freestyle!" He really does a fine monster truck motor reving as only a 2 year old ALL boy can do!

We spent the entire day downtown at the stadium, walking around on the track and took our first trip out to eat since Parker was diagnosed in November. I was super nervous to order, but all seemed to go without a hitch, and we enjoyed some burgers and fries at 5 Guys. I'm so thankful that Parks likes to eat burgers without buns, because even though I packed his own homemade gluten free bun, I of course forgot it in the car!=/ woopsie! As long as you've got a pile of Heinz ketchup, you're good to go, right?

Back to the stadium we went for the big race and we were there LATE with our own gluten free cheese popcorn, m & m's and ear plugs. Jack had a fever and was up way past his bedtime. My arms were like noodles by the time we got to the car from carrying Jack from the stadium to parking!

The ride home at 11pm, Parker is completely exhausted and passed out and Jack is yelling over to him"Wake up, Parker, wake up!" Amazing how a 2 year old can stay awake that late and all the way home without a snooze!

Anyway, I can say proudly, I have endured Monster Jam, survived and lived to tell of it's greatness.
