Monster Jam

 Santa brought the kids tickets to the Monster Jam this year.  Finally, after months of waiting, the day of the big show finally arrived.  We drove to Sandy where we hopped on Trax to ride into the city.  It was Isaac's first time on Trax and you would have thought it was a ride at Disneyland.  He loved it.  The boys are making their fierce Monster Jam faces in this shot.

 The girls decided against fierce Monster Jam faces, but it is clear that now I have made the transition into the over 30 category I need to make a serious investment in wrinkle therapy.  Sad true story.

 The Trax map kept the kids thoroughly entertained.  It was like we were on a treasure hunt.

 From the minute we walked into the arena Isaac was covering his ears.  You could tell by looking around that we were not experienced monster truck rally fans since we were the only ones without earplugs or headphones.  Ooops.  Thankfully a nice monster truck fan sitting behind us passed up an extra pair that Levi used.

 We had great (and cheap!) seats.

 Wolverine was Levi's favorite monster truck.

 Isaac said, "I wuv 'em, mom.  I wuv monster trucks!"

 I never really figured out how the whole thing worked, but the trucks took turns, received scores, and some were declared winners.

 The crowd favorite was Grave Digger.  I guess this is it's 30th anniversary.  Hmmm...Grave Digger and I have something in common, and it's not wrinkles.

Thankfully we got out of there without the $30 plastic Grave Digger hat...whew!  The kids said that now we are going to Monster Jam "every year."  Yikes!
