Monster Jam!!!

Eric and I took Ayden to the monster truck show yesterday. On the way into the arena, Ayden kept saying "I'm so 'cited to see monster trucks!" It was so much fun! Grave Digger was a hit, and anytime he was out of the arena Ayden was asking where he was. There was also two quad war races where 4 riders from Idaho battled 4 riders from Utah. These races were pretty exciting because the riders really had to work to stay in that 1st place spot. A guy from Idaho would be in 1st place, then Utah would get ahead on a corner and it just went back and forth like that the whole time! It was anybody's race right up until the end, but Idaho won both races. Yeah, baby!

The most anticipated part of the show (at least for Eric and I) was the stunt bike portion. They had a really tall dirt ramp in the middle of the arena and then they set up another ramp and three stunt riders did CRAZY stunts while jumping from that ramp to the dirt landing ramp. They did back flips and hand stands and I just thought they were plain nuts! But it was really fun to watch, definitely our favorite part of the whole show. When we were walking back to the car Ayden said, "thanks for watching monster trucks!" When Monster Jam comes to town again we will definitely go. Next time, though, we will get pit passes so we can go see the trucks up close!
