Monster Trucks on the Beach

Filed Under: Family, Travel Tagged With: monster truck, mother's day

On Mother’s Day we went up to the oceanfront for Monster Trucks on the Beach. It was so much fun. Last time we were there Carsyn was in my belly! This time Carsyn was out of my belly and was able to enjoy watching the show. Dustyn is a lot older so I think he liked the show a lot more.

Kenny was so excited because Big Foot was there. He LOVED monster trucks growing up, especially Big Foot. Since they are more midwest Kenny was never able to see the truck in person until this past Sunday. His eyes lit up when he saw it and heard that his favorite driver was driving it.

It really was an awesome show. They did motocross freestyle instead of the quad wars. I loved it so much more. The quad wars got to be boring because it was always just a “show” and was set up. We had the perfect seats for the motorcross jump. I was able to capture some great silhouettes of their tricks.

I think we will be going again next year. I really want to get a balcony room in one of the hotels. That way we can just watch it from the balcony. Would be a nice little vacation too.

All these photos were taken with my Samsung Note 2. I seriously love the camera on my phone. So nice to just grab photos with it instead of lugging around my big girl camera.

By the way if you missed my post earlier I did a tutorial on how to make your own backdrop stand.

Carsyn’s birthday was Saturday so keep an eye out on my blog. I will be posting all about his party soon!

What did you do this past weekend? I hope you all had a wonderful Mother’s Day!

6 weeks ago I cut off the top of my Monstera Adans 6 weeks ago I cut off the top of my Monstera Adansonii because it was very tall but not bushy. It was nerve wracking at first. I had 5 total cuttings that I put into water. 4 of the pieces had roots longer than 2 inches with some secondary roots. The last piece is still in water, it has some roots but not enough, so giving it a bit more time. Where I cut it is also making a new stem and I noticed further down it was trying to branch out in other places. Hopefully it takes off this Summer and becomes fuller looking.

It was soooo cold out there tonight even with the sun. The wind was whipping. It may have been in the 40s but the wind chill was in the low 30s. I think my face is wind burned. Annie did a great job playing tonight and was trying so hard to make a goal. The other team was short on players, so one of her teammates was goalie and did an awesome job stopping the ball. Annie tried a new strategy of holding the ball in between her feet until the other team gives up. 🤣 There is one clip of Prestyn (# 13). His games are harder to take video of cause his field is so big.

Today while eating lunch I told her it was close to coming out and we would need to pull it before bed. While eating chicken teriyaki she thought she swallowed it and spit out the chicken in her mouth. I dug through it and it wasn’t there. She started freaking out. Then looked on the chair and it was sitting right there. 🤣 A similar thing happened with Prestyn on one of his bottom teeth. My kids never want to pull them out until they fall out on their own. Ha.

So it was growing soooooo slow. I finally repotted it a couple weeks ago, moved it closer to a window, and started using plant food from @happyhappyhouseplant. Not sure what made the most difference but the leaf opened and now a new one is already starting. Hoping it won’t take as long this time.
