MONSTER JAM WEEKEND

Well last weekend Febuary 20th & 21st was all about monster trucks for us!! Monster Jam was at Edward Jones Dome Saturday Feb. 21st so we HAD to take the boys!! Grandma & Grandpa bought all of us tickets to go, and oh my, did they have a BLAST!!

Friday we went to Frieze Harley Davidson to see the Donkey Kong Monster Truck & the driver of the truck......plus the little added bonus that it was at Harley Davidson we got to check out motorcycles too. We all know Jared has a new found love for motorcycles! We met Derrick, Donnaka, Lil' D & Dache' there too and got some pictures with them! And it was cold!! Going to see Donkey Kong got us all really excited to go to Monster Jam the next day!!

So the next day.....
Of course Monster Jam wasn't until 7 o'clock in the evening, so all day the boys were asking is it time yet.......We also had a baby shower to go to at 4 that day for our good friends Chris & Laura...hope they get to go next year!! Finally it was time...we picked everyone up and headed downtown. Thanks to Dawnjulene's phone call about the traffic on the MLK bridge we were able to avoid it and go a different route. We found a parking garage and briskly walked, cause it was FREEZING!!

We got there right as it started. Up to the top we went....and the excitement began cause don't you know first things first Jordan had to fall on the escalator and bang up his shins....OUCH!!! So he's all better now, on to our seats. They boys were in awe!! After seeing the expressions on their faces I knew they were going to have a blast!! I have to admit at first I didn't think I would enjoy myself, but man was I wrong. It was really fun & thrilling not knowing "WHEN" a truck was gonna wreck, because they all did....it was just a matter of when & how they were going to. The looks & reactions of the boys faces were priceless. They have always been into monster trucks!!! We just wanted to wait until the right time to take them, because it is LOUD!!! We all had our huge earmuffs though and they helped alot with the noise! After about 2 1/2 hours of non-stop monster trucks it was all over and time to go home!!

Now getting to the truck and leaving the parking garage was a whole other story......we'll just say we sat in the parking garage without moving for a good 45 minutes!! We still had so much fun & will remember going until we go again next year!

Thanks Grandma & Grandpa for the tickets......and thanks G.J. for watching Kaylee bug!!
