Momma of Boys- My Chaos, My Journey: Monster Jam...First family experience

A week ago today we went to our first Monster Jam as family. It was experience that will be unforgettable and in a good way. See let me start off by telling you my son who is 2 is into the cars and trucks stage which is to cute to see and of course we are into it as well, and before baby my husband and I went now we went with a child, our child. Here is our experience:

First let me start off with this mommy won free tickets to monster jam and plus it was my husband/daddy birthday weekend. We enjoyed his birthday Friday the 10th of February and than ended it with bang at Monster Jam. We attended the pit(note if you plan on going in the future you must have pit passes to attend the pit, your tickets will not get you in...also it's a pit pass per event ticket.) I stated this as I felt bad for families because they waited outside for the gates to open, and once they open people were getting turndown until closer to showtime( which gates open a noon and show didn't start till 3:30). Ok back to us...we head out to the stadium and had 30 minutes to wait on a hot day in February here in Texas..crazy weather for Texas, crazy weather for Fenruary. Once gate opened we went inside to the floor and walked around to see and take pictures of the trucks, and my son did do some of the kids activities. The moment my son saw the first truck his reaction was with eyes big Wow, mama, dada, big trucks, see, see...oh my we will never forget that. Keep in mind not much to do during the pit beside pictures, meet the drivers, and a few kids activities which make it a long afternoon until showntime with a toddler but we mange and toddler(my child) didn't go crazy. During the pit we felt like we were done after 30 minutes, and so we walked up the steps to the concession stand to get lunch since we couldn't leave and sat outside on the patio/balcony of the stadium. From there we walked around for bit found our seats and sit down talked, took pictures, change a diaper, refill our drink, grab cotton candy! Than it was showtime not sure if my son was going to get scared of the truck engines, but since he had headphones to protect his ears he was good and excited. First round was wheelies, second round was racing, and than third round was freestyle with one intermission. My son was beyond excited, and he kept his headphones on and was cheering, counting 1, 2, 3, Go, clapping, and jumping up and down and even wanted us to count with him as well which we did.

Show lasted about three hours but we were there since 11:30(Noon was when the pit open) and didn't get home till about 7pm. You know from us getting there early and coming home at the time we did was so worth it and we would do it all over again, a matter of fact we are already looking forward to next year. We have had many experience with our son since he was born and all have been enjoyable and memorable, but this one is a little different because of his age and how he's into the car and truck stage at the moment and understand a bit more. Everything from the moment we pulled up to the stadium to leaving the stadium I couldn't help to smile the whole time as we made another memory for him and with him.

All priceless memories and a lot were captured but here are few oh by the way we are Grave Digger fans as you will tell from the pictures.
