Daddy here. This weekends fun began Friday night. It was our annual trip to Red Bluff for the West Coast Monster Truck Nationals. We once again got VIP tickets.
We decided to keep it simple this year and just have us Mansfield boys.
Although, when we got to the event, we saw Jake Mangas and Mrs. Woodfill's son, Brian, so we sat with them. It was kind of weird for me, as I know that Mom used to babysit Brian when he was a little boy and now there's this grown man with his own daughter sitting next to me. Alex had a brief conversation with a drunk man next to us. Rather, he had a conversation with Alex, hahaha. After a bit, the finally served the food witch this year was on a ticketed system, boo! We got our cheap burgers and settled in for some monster mayhem. Jake and Brian had little kids so they left earlier than we did. When it was time for the freestyle part of the event, I suggested we leave so we could beat the crowd. Jake asked if we could stay and watch a few of the trucks, so we did. The first was LAME, so we decided to stay to end on a high note. The second was better, but still not too thrilling, The third was out of control! After a few rad jumps around the track, we got what we had been waiting all night to see, IT FLIPPED OVER!!!
Finally satisfied, we headed out. You guys both fell asleep, Jake before we got out of Red Bluff and Alex about 15 minutes later. I love going to the Monster Trucks, obviously, but I just love spending time with you guys. I hope when you have kids of your own you'll have your silly traditions that you love doing too.
Saturday, we had to go to JC Penny because Alex needed a tuxedo shirt for his Madrigal performance and shoes for his pop concert next week. While we were there I looked for a new Star Wars shirt and Jake found this....
Sunday, we went to Church and headed home to watch football and have a few Not Your Father's Root Beers, Mom and my new obsession. I love you guys,
Daddy
