On our way home from our field trip to the Delaware River, we took an unexpected detour. As we were looking for a hotel in Philadelphia, we drove past the stadium and saw an electronic billboard advertising Monster Jam. I did a double take when the date and time flashed across the screen. It was TODAY and it was starting in TWO hours with the "Party in the Pits" going on RIGHT NOW! Wouldn't you know, both boys were sound asleep in their car seats, but not for long! We turned around, woke them up, and experienced the biggest Monster Jam Live event that we've ever been to. In fact, this one was televised and will be on the SPEED channel next year.
Besides the racing and freestyle, Mikie's favorite part was getting to meet his favorite driver, Linsey Weenk who drives Blue Thunder:
We also met:
David Bradshaw driving Air Force Afterburner
Jeremy Slifco driving Backdraft
Avenger
Jim Koehler driving Avenger and Chris Bergeron driving Brutus
BrutusThis experience just helped me remember that some of the best things in life are not planned.
You are just a TERRIFIC MOMMY; you could have ignored the billboard or even read the date wrong, but of course being so kind hearted to the boys in your life you spoke up and made an enjoyable day for them.
ReplyDeleteIt was funny to see them in dinosaur shirts rather than truck shirts (since this event was not planned). Did they get signatures on anything? It would be pretty funny to have monster truck autographs on dinosaur shirts, ha,ha.
And yes your last sentence says it all!!!!
