I am going to admit something that I never thought I would. I absolutely LOVED going to Monster Jams! Race cars, motorcycles and big trucks never appealed to me.... until this month. Thanks to Marc's awesome job and its "perks" we went to Monster Jam and had really good seats. I have always wanted to go but in the back of my head it was an event where there are motorcycle dudes and big men...not for me. When it was time for the flag presentation and the national anthem I had a change of heart. The announcer asked for all the veterans, soldiers, nurses, doctors, emts and teachers to stand up and as I looked around at these "scary lookin dudes" I got chills. They were standing with their heads held high and they were so proud of who they were. I have never seen anything so patriotic in my life. I got chills.....
This was the start of a great night for me and I will be the first to admit that I am now a huge monster truck fan. Watching these big trucks crush little cars and jump vans was pretty awesome. This was so awesome in fact that...wait for it... Miles fell asleep!!!! That's right you read that correctly Miles fell asleep at one of the loudest events you could go to. He slept until intermission and when it came time for the freestyle event he was pumped!! He really liked watching the trucks and listening to the music. He even had a favorite. He would cheer whenever the GRAVEDIGGER was driving and Miles must have been lucky that night because the GRAVEDIGGER won!!!!!!!!!!! From now on, I'm not going to knock these boyish adventures. They turn out to be pretty interesting.
