Monster Jam.

We decided to take the kids to Monster Jam this past month. Mainly because Dominic has such a love for big trucks!

None of us had even been and the kids were both very excited when we got there -

 But we soon found out just how loud these trucks were and Elena was not a fan. At all.

  

 Lets just say there were lots of tears until we doubled up on the protective ear wear - then she was better. Dominic on the other hand, had no problem with the noise! Imagine that - boys I tell ya! We doubled him up too just to be on the safe side!  

 I think Robert had the most fun of all though! He really enjoyed all the trucks and races!

  Its a good thing they had this massive sno cone at intermission or she might not have made it through the 2nd half! ;)

 The next part started out with the bikes and it is just insane with what they do on those bikes!! Check it out.  

and of course it was time for the big Batman/Grave Digger match up!

 This picture is so blurry but it captures Robert's excitement so well I just had to share! ;) What a kid at heart!

Elena had a much better time and even said she would like to come back! Lucky for us she has a great sense of humor and even thought it was funny when daddy was teasing her about all the tears earlier. ;)

 I have never seen a 1 year old sit so still and be so amazed by what was going on! It was unbelievable and he had such a great time! I think his favorite part was going down closer after it was over to watch the construction machines do their work!

All in all it was a really fun day - so nice to get to experience new things together as a family!
