Monster Truck Show

Friday night Brian and Nolan had a boys night out. After the three of us had dinner together here in town, the boys headed to Pensacola to see the Monster Truck show. Turns out they were in the 9th row and the seats were really good. We were a little worried the noise of the trucks combined with how big they are in person might scare Nolan, but Brian said he LOVED every minute. There were lots of kids and families there and Nolan stayed out until past 10 pm! He fell asleep on the way home, of course and slept in some on Saturday. The most popular of the trucks is "Grave Digger." Nolan actually has had this hot wheels truck for some time, so Brian brought it along and Nolan was so excited to see his "toy truck" in person!! In some ways I wish I could have been there to see Nolan's reactions, but I know that it's such a blessing to have Dad/son time. I had big plans to go shopping, but the idea of an empty house was too tempting, so I went home, cleaned up a bit and then watched a movie...with the volume turned up!
Here are some pics and a video of the fun night.

Nolan when they first got there, taking it all in. Probably not sure what to think just yet.

Some trucks, with the Air Force truck being the one closest to the camera:This is the donkey kong truck and is the newest truck. Grave Digger: Having lots of fun! Here's a video of Nolan whooping and hollering, as well as waving his arm. Brian said he just picked up all of that from the people around him, so funny! Those are ear plugs in his ears to help with the noise.
