time for a girls night?

last night MONSTER JAM came to the metrodome.

when i saw it advertised i knew that it would be the PERFECT event for our boys.
AND
i knew that my nephew, aiden, would love it too.
so he and my mom drove over ...

and we hopped a train ...



down to the testosterone fest ...

notice MAXIMUM DESTRUCTION in the bottom left corner.
that really is the truck's name, by the way ;)
by the end of the freestyle round he had flipped and crashed enough times
that the body of his truck was completely non-existant.
those guys are RUTHLESS!
WHICH ... is perfect for 4 little boys.

well ... 3 little boys ;)
as you can see, the 4th little boy slept through a lot of it.
that's an expensive nap, little aiden.

the destruction went on for almost 3 hours!
it was crazy!
it was loud.
and ...
parts of it were REALLY fun -

namely, my favorite part of the night.
the trailer races.

i've been to a demo derby before -
but never before have i experienced them pulling trailers!
they were carrying the strangest things - washing machines, a jet ski, a tasmanian devil, a couch ...
one was even pulling a pop up camper!
yet it didn't stop them.
they drove around the track.
they flipped their trailers over.
they crashed into each other.
they basically drove up right onto each other.



talk about testosterone!

yet ...
here i sit telling you that i enjoyed it.
hmmm ...
perhaps living with all these boys is starting to take it's toll.
