Monster Jam

So last night we took Hayden for his first Monster Truck Ralley!!! It was a blast for him and since it was the first time for me too, I had a good time too. They had it at the local concert area. It was smaller than your average really, I was told, but for an almost two year old, it was

plenty big. We went with my friend Meghan and her daughter. She's a little older than Hayden, but it seems that she had just as much fun. They didn't like how loud it was, but thank goodness I had gotten them ear-muff protectors.

Craig and Hayden waiting for Meghan to meet us.

Waiting for the show to start.

Craig got the kids some blue cotton candy. Hayden tried one bite and that was it. He DID NOT like it! I just knew he would love it. Gracie, on the other hand, loved it. Oh, and we did too!

In addition to the monster trucks they also had Motocross bikers and quad racers. The bikers mostly just jumped ramps since it's a small area and the quad racers did just that. But they were definitely crowd pleasers. Of course, not as much as the trucks. They were un-be-lievable.

Before the show, during the intermission and after they offered rides in the back of one of these trucks called the Bumble Bee. It was neat for the kids, but they were charging $10 for a ride per person. I guess that's not too bad, but it was the same price for kids too. Meghan was going to take Gracie, but they wanted $20 even though she would have held Gracie in her lap. They offered to let Gracie go on by herself. Now, I ask you, who would let their 2 year old go on that by herself? Duh!!

It was definitely exciting for Hayden and we will take him back again. Craig is even talking about trying to go to a bigger event!!
