Monster Jam 2013

Last night was our second Monster Jam.  Initially we bought tickets for January 5th but because of the Texans in the playoffs it moved Monster Jam to last night   After having such a great time last year we were super excited.  
Colton had a little rest on the way there. 
We headed up early for the Pit Party.  We'd never been so we had no idea what to expect.  It was a nasty day out and we thought it would be cancelled because we figured it would be outside. 
 We were wrong!  We got to go down to the stadium floor and walk right up to the trucks.  It was really neat but it was very crowded and it was total over load for Colt. 
 The line to meet David Anderson was super long and Colton didn't want him to write in his program so I just snapped a quick pic.  













 These little cars raced during the show.  One of the drivers was letting the kids sign his car.  Colt signed his name.

Pretty cool!
After being in the pit for about 2 and 1/2 hours (way too long) we headed up to our seats.  
We had two hours 'til the show started.  
 We wasted some time by eating and coloring.  
They had a lot going on down on the floor so it went pretty fast.
 By the time it started we were all ready!  Grave Digger was out first!


After ice cream and popcorn for dinner Colton wanted cotton candy.
If you've ever wondered what $15 cotton candy looks like...here ya go!
During free styles Grave digger went crazy and flipped himself.  It was AWESOME!
 We had such a fun time!!!

Chase stayed with Nanny and Grandad.  We really missed him but knew we made the right choice when we got into the stadium and walked around for 2 1/2 hours then waited for 2 hours then sat through a very very loud show. He would have wanted to run around and this just wasn't the place for that. He had much more fun getting spoiled with Nanny and Grandad! We hope we can bring him with us next year.


 This morning Colton could hardly wait to get Chase out of bed and tell him all about his night.  Here are the boys watching Colton's Monster Jam DVD.
