Monster Truck Show

I looked forever and couldn't find a quote for this post. I'm not sure how I feel about this whole "Monster Truck" thing. Here is my own personal quote:
"Sometimes the fear we feel as mothers is valid - even when we are laughed at."




It was a bittersweet time. Preston loved it so much!

But so you better understand the quote above and the feeling of this post - Before the boys left for the evening I asked B if anyone ever gets hurt and he laughed and said they have protective barriers up. Well, a little boy was killed this evening by a flying piece of metal from one of the trucks.

There were No protective barriers. It really was a freak accident.... but..... scary

I'm going to end this post with a favorite quote of my mother's:

"Men seek adventure; women seek security"

that is so scary! i would be bawling my eyes out - maybe i still will. that is such a terrible thing - when the parents were trying to do something fun for their little boy, you know? glad you are and your boys are ok.

we plan to be in seattle the 20th of march, we hope there is an afternoon/evening we can come crash your party pad.
