We started our morning on Saturday by having brunch at IHOP. With the release of the new Dr. Seuss movie, The Lorax, I had heard Lorax was going to be there. I heard wrong, but they did have several meals that were named and cooked Dr. Seuss style and the boys still had a great time.
Later in the afternoon my friend Julie and her two boys Zack and Alex came down. Zack is only 3 weeks older than Parker and Alex is 2 1/2 so the boys are pretty well perfectly matched.
Julie and I took Zack and Parker as a surprise to the Monster Truck Jam Saturday night at Ford Field. I had no idea what to expect as I have never been to one before. But Parker has been to a couple now and he LOVES them.
When they found out what we were doing they were SO excited.
Now, if you've never been to a Monster Truck Jam, the first part consists of races. Julie and I couldn't quite figure out what they based the points on.
The second part consisted of Free Style. This is where the trucks drive over the cars and drive over the ramps to get as much air as possible, and just doing all sorts of while stunts. The first couple of trucks that crashed kind of stressed us out. But once we realized the drivers are safe and well, I think they actually AIM to crash...we started laughing if they did and taking bets on who we thought would flip.
Parker's face and smile was so lit up with excitement the whole time, you would have thought someone told him they were giving him a bonus Christmas. He was cheering on his favorite trucks, yelling, singing some of their 'theme songs' at the top of his lungs and bouncing up and down in his seat. Watching the trucks was entertaining, but watching Parker was by far my most favorite part. Watching him be so excited and just being a true little boy makes my heart happy.
Look at the smile on that boy....
Monster Jam tickets - $41
Sno-cone in a Grave Digger Cup - $15
Monster Truck Hot Wheels - $15
Watching his excitement and that smile - Priceless.
This is what I ended my weekend with:
I caught Camden sitting in Parker's Beyblade Arena like it was his personal throne. I told him to smile and this is what he gave me.
I love my boys so much. I am so lucky and blessed to be a mama to 2 of the best boys anyone could ask for.
