My Monstrous Day

My day with the boys finally came, but of all the days to have a snow storm, it had to be a day when we had to travel to Salt Lake.  Since I had an extra ticket, and Mitch and Teresa were in town for a surprise visit, Mitch and Easton came along for the fun. Roads were fine for the most part, but due to the storm earlier, it had caused several accidents on the freeway.  It took us a good hour just to get through Willard, and we ended up being 45 minutes late for the show.

AJ and Kimball were funny because Kimball prides himself on going to sleep "only one time a day", meaning he doesn't take naps anymore... "except when he's sick" of course.  During the traffic jam, though, he was drifting off and AJ was giving him grief and teasing him about it, which would make Kimball mad.  Kimball finally fell asleep, and it didn't take long for AJ to do the same.  I had to take this picture to show AJ that he takes naps too, and probably shouldn't tease is little brother so much about it.  Ha ha.

We ended up being 45 minutes late for the show, but luckily we didn't miss too much.  We got there in time to see the final of the monster truck races, or whatever it was, and all of the motocross and monster truck freestyle.  Easton LOVED the motocross freestyle, and AJ and Kimball pretty much loved everything.  As we left, the kids said they wanted to do that every time.  That was my first Monster Truck experience, and it wasn't quite as "white trash-y" as I thought it would be.  I have to admit it was quite entertaining, and I would probably do it again.

The drive home was a breeze as it was nice and even sunny... until we got back to Logan where the storm had just hit again.  Is it EVER going to be spring???

Looks like fun! That is hilarious that they both took naps. Aj even came home and told us that Kimball had taken a nap but he didn't because he didn't take naps anymore. That is too funny! They said they had a blast! They were telling us all about it.

Been there, done that.

Monster Trucks weren't as bad as I thought they would be either.
