Aiden has been obsessed with monster trucks since he could push a car around. And for the past year he has mentioned about going to see a real monster truck show. Well we finally thought we would go and just so happened that the show was here in Baltimore on Aiden's birthday weekend. So we gave it to him as a present.
Both Aiden and Owen were so excited and told everyone about it. The day of the show they could not wait. So excited when we arrived and loved looking at the smooshed cars and mud pit. We were prepared and had headphones for kids but did not matter. Those trucks came out revving their engines and Owen face sunk and he started to shiver. He was beyond scared. I quickly sat him on my lap but he still wanted to get out. So he and I left to take a break.
Well he did try two more times but just could not bear the noise. So we hung outside the arena and just talked.
Aiden at first was excited and enjoyed watching the big trucks pop wheelies. But after about 30 minutes he too was done with the noise. So we all left. What a disappointment. I knew it was loud but never imagined it would that loud and bother my kids.
We as parents have learned our lesson now, no more crazy and loud commercial events for our kids; they are just not those kids and I am happy about that.
Don't be fooled by the picture, this was before any truck came out. They were watching a dirt bike.
The picture of excited Aiden is priceless. I love it.
