Last night we took the kids to see a Monster Truck rally at a local speedway. It was fabulous fun and we all had a great time. I remember the first time we took Riley he was overwhelmed by the noise of the car racing and when the fireworks started he felt like we were about to spontaneously combust and that the fireworks would ignite the whole stadium. The good thing about Riles is that he is frightened of something until he realises its nothing to worry about. so i had reminded him how last time he enjoyed the fireworks once they started and that they werent scary at all!
we had a great time. As well as the monster trucks there was a jet van which the kids reckoned was like a rocket ship on wheels. it felt like a giant heater as it drove past us with a 6 foot gas flame flying out the back. Cait thought that the fireworks were the high point of the night. much better than the last time we went went for a lot longer and was beautiful. They had a new monster truck this year called Batman so for a superhero freak like Riles that was definately the highlight. i am sure he thought Batman was in there driving it, luckily he couldnt see the driver as i think he may have been disappointed :)
By the time we got home it was quite late so the kids and i slept in til late this morning. i had planned to go to the gym but am giving myself the weekend off from the gym. i lay in bed instead and read the paper- everyone deserves a break now and again. Cait and i ended up taking Casper our Jack Russell for a walk/ run..it always ends up a walk with him esp when Cait is riding her bike so he wants to catch up with her. so that means Mum ends up running too..not altogether bad though!
Not sure what the rest of the day holds. be back later.
hugs bell :)
