Monster Jam

Scott, Will, and I went to see Monster Jam on Saturday night. (Uncle Bill, Aunt Janet, and "Wobby" kept Kirstine). Will and Scott went last year in Tampa with Uncle Matt, Ricky Pelham, and Jordan. Even though it was super loud he loved it (or at least the memories of it) and has loved Monster Jam ever since. So we were very excited that it came to Birmingham this year. The show that came here was a very small one. I think there were only 8 trucks total (as opposed to about 30 in Tampa), and the only ones we knew were Grave Digger and El Toro Loco. (which are Will's 2 favorites, so that's good). Pluses of it being a small show? It didn't take as long. Minuses: lots. there wasn't enough room to race, so the racing part consisted of 4 cars lined up for them to jump over and that was it. normal shows they actually race around the stadium and end by jumping over a row of cars. Plus it stunk that we didn't know anybody. (and we used to watch monster jam on tv every day, so we know a lot of trucks). el toro loco lost the first phase of racing, and then stalled out almost immediately during the freestyle, so that stunk. but grave digger, as always, put on a fabulous show. Even though Will kept his ears plugged the entire time (and refused to put the ear plugs in) he still had a very good time.
