As much as I love to spend time with my boys I know that it’s important for my boys to have father/son time. Boys need that time to just be boys. I saw that the E3 Spark Plugs Monster Truck Nationals was coming to our area. That had father and son time written all over it. Think about it: boys and boys-at-heart, mud, big trucks, loud engines, and destruction. Am I right?
My oldest 2 boys are from my first marriage. I know that they enjoy their time with me but they don’t get to spend as much time with the dad as they’d like to. I asked their dad if he’d like to take them to the Monster Truck Nationals show on Apr. 2. He said he could. Now my 7 yr old is excited about it. My 8 yr old wasn’t so sure until I old him there was also a Pit Party before the show actually starts. He says “Count me in!”
I think the Monster Truck National will be an event that they’ll remember for a long time. It’ll be one of those “Hey dad, remember that one time we saw that Monster Truck show and…”
I’ll find out for sure though. They’ll be heading to the show April 2nd in State College, PA. Look for my review after the event.
And now a light-hearted: My Top 5 reasons for a father/son Monster Truck Nationals night out:
1. Because it’ll get your kids and hubby away from the cartoons on TV.
2. Because they can feel free to make whatever bodily noises they need to, no one will hear them anyway.
3. Because they’ll feel free to enjoy themselves a little more. Mom’s not there to say:
“oh my someone’s gonna get hurt”
“son stop screaming, use your inside voice”
“Dear! Don’t encourage that!”
“No that soda and nachos isn’t healthy, Why don’t you get some water and carrots sticks?”
“Do those trucks really need to be that loud?”
I could really keep going here.
4. Because boys/guys love machines, loud noise, and destruction, at least if they’re here they’re not destroying your freshly cleaned house for a while.
5. Maybe the most important reason: father and son will both enjoy it and it’ll be ok if they act their age.
