How cute is my boy???




Friday night brought Monster Trucks to the Texas Motor Speedway. Some good friends were going and invited Joe and Owen to go along. It was Owen's first trip to anything like this and he was so excited. He didn't really know what to expect and kept asking me lots of questions. I told him of the days when his dad and I were younger when we used to go the Monster Truck shows. He was excited by the fact that I also liked going, and knew a little about them. Joe said the show was not as good as one's he has seen before but for Owen it was awesome. His words, not mine. He was sound asleep when they got home so I had to wait until the next day to hear all about it. Owen told me that one of the trucks lost it's hood and front end, while another one drove over a car and tore off it's roof, but didn't hurt the person inside. He told me about the blue car with white stripes, and the four wheelers that were also there. He really enjoyed the "funny guy", that came out on a motorcycle, a little monster truck and in a bath tub. I wasn't there so I didn't really know what he was talking about but seeing the excitement in his eyes told the whole story. It didn't matter that I didn't understand what happened, what mattered was that he had a good time and really enjoyed going with his dad.
I don't know how often the monster trucks come to the DFW area but I'm sure we will all have to go see them again....and soon.
