Are you ready for Monster Jam???

Last night we made every little 3 yr old boy's come true...well maybe not every little boy--but our son--for sure! Ethan's favorite show on TV is Monster Jam--he already has his favorites. Blue Thunder, Pastrana 199 and Grave Digger. (Grave Digger is the truck that gets the most hype--cuz he does some pretty crazy stunts.) Last night Pastrana 199 was in 1st place for the Freestyle event (at the end he flipped over and caught on fire!) until Mr. Escalade took it with only Grave Digger left. Grave Digger of course stole the 1st place, even though we thought Mr. Escalade was more entertaining.

Yeah I'm lame and forgot my camera. Maybe it's packed...I can't remember anymore. So at least I had my camera phone....sorry the pictures are crappy. We were in the blood nose seats and actually THE VERY LAST ROW possible in the Georgia Dome, so you can see the black cinderblocks behind us. But we loved it, we didn't ever get beer spilled on us, or kicked in the head or back and I could actually nurse Aidrian with out anyone even knowing! Yes Mika came with us and she was great. Never cried once. She was clapping and cheerind, standing up and looking around.
Ethan was so excited. He was a little bored during the racing--they were SOOOO loud, I could feel the vibration in Mika' body! But she just stared at the trucks race, then clapped after. Intermission was the best part in Ethan's opinion. Cars raced with trailers on the back and you had to win with your trailer still on. People had put quads, a Harley, a barrel, signs and yes, even a port-a-potty on their trailers. They then had teams push a monster truck tire for a chance to win $1,000. Very entertaining! This pic was after the show, but the cutest happiest smile on bub.
After the show we walked down closer and there were Ethan's favorie trucks right there. From left, Blue Thunder, Grave Digger and Pastrana 199. How cool!!!

That looks totally awesome! What a fun, unforgettable outing. My son would love to go to one of those, but seeing that we are in the midwest there's nothing interesting like that around here, which is a bummer. But thankfully we only have a year and 6 months left! Where do you guys live again? It seems like that is the happen place to be.....

Looks like fun! Ethan is so cute. I bet that Travis loved it too. I guess that this was while Makaylin was still with Mom? How fun!
