Monster Jam

We went to Monster Jam a couple weekends ago and we had a great time.   Colton of course was more than excited to see Grave Digger and they were celebrating Grave Diggers 30th Anniversary so this was quite the show to be at.  We also took our nephew Isaac with us to the show and he had a blast at his first Monster Jam!  He will be a Monster Jam fan for life which is fine by me (not sure that his parents are excited but he can always go with Auntie).  I think maybe the best part of the show was Trailer Racing.  It was a demolition style race but every car was pulling a trailer of some sorts.  Some were pulling boats, one a camper and the rest had flat bed trailers with everything from Christmas Trees to couches to TV's strapped to them!  The kids thought it was hilarious to see the trailers and all the items on them go flying when they crashed.  Seriously, one of the best races I have ever watched.   And of course you can't go to Monster Jam without some dome food, we enjoyed dome dogs and giant snow cones.  The boys also got Grave Digger Pennants which they waved high and proud every time Grave Digger hit the track!  The only bad part of the night was trying to get home.  We left the dome at about 10:20pm after a 3 hour and 20 minute show, we had two boys who were hyped up on sugar and fumes and way past their bedtime and we parked at the top of a ramp!  We got to the car after a short 5 minutes walk in the frigid January air, got into the car, got all buckled up and then we sat there.  It had been 20 minutes and we hadn't even backed out of parking spot yet.  The boys were taking turns trying to kill me (mind you I was sitting on the back bench of the van in between them which will never happen again).  First Colton would look at Isaac and say "boo" and then they both would throw their heads back and laugh hysterically and then Isaac would look back at Colton and say "Rarrr" and again the laughter.  I thought about jumping right off the 5th floor of the ramp just to save my sanity!  After another 15 minutes of torture and all the cars in the ramp honking to a catchy little beat we finally backed out of our parking spot and were on our way to freedom.  All in all it was a very fun night and yes we will be doing it again next year (just might pick a different post to park)!
