Monster Jam!!!

Part of Lincoln's birthday present was to take him to the Monster Jam show. When we told him, he was pretty excited. Keziah? Not so much. Well, to be more exact......not at all. I debated staying behind with her while the boys went, but I just couldn't. I love, love, LOVE this type of stuff and so I was not willing to pass up on an opportunity to watch the Monster Trucks. We told Kez that she was going, whether she liked it or not and then she will never have to go again if she doesn't want to.

Well, guess who loved it??!?!

She was very disgusted with Grave Digger and Zombie - wouldn't even watch them as they did their runs and tricks - as the trucks were covered in paintings of skeletons, blood etc. She has absolutely zero tolerance for that kind of stuff and thinks it is completely unnecessary to have that I couldn't agree with her more :)

Thankfully there were lots of others to watch and cheer for! Our favourites were the bus, Scooby-Do and Northern Nightmare.

But before we got to the actual show, we had to find parking and supper. We passed up on $40 parking and relied on our strong healthy legs to carry us from the $10 parking to the Rogers Center.

We munched on some yummy pizza, saw the CN Tower and then in we went!

 

This boy loved it too.....but showed it very differently. Knowing him, I should have known he would not be jumping up and down, cheering and getting all excited. Nope, he took it all in stride.....loving the pay loaders that had to rescue the trucks just as much as the trucks! The only clue that he was loving it so much was the fact that he sat like this the whole time - on the edge of his seat!

At one point, he did stand and use his Monster Truck hat to copy every move each Monster Truck was doing as they did their tricks. It was so cute to watch. If they jumped up, his hat went up. If they did donuts, his hat did donuts. :)

 

But on to the trucks.....it was a great show. Lots of down time and it is too bad that so many of them "broke" during the freestyle part (which ended the show earlier than we would have liked), but it still left the kids playing Monster Trucks since they got home. Here are some of the better pictures I was able to get:

 

 

Oops!!

 

Question for you: what do you think......did the truck below fall on its side or was it able to stay upright?

 

 

 

 

Hmmm, see anything wrong with Grave Digger?!

It was a late night, but a fun night for the kids. They loved it! And Keziah was very thankful that we made her go :)
