Our Monster Jam Fans


Here we are in Europe... Monster Jam Monster Trucks is NOT the rage here. It's probably barely heard of... but when Don got wind of the fact that Monster Jam was coming to put on a show in Holland and it was the weekend before Benjamin's birthday, he was not going to let our boys miss out on the action.
So, Don got online and figured that he could make the Saturday afternoon show in Holland (a few hours away from us) and drive there in back in one day.
I opted to stay home with Grace as the shows are VERY LOUD and our Grace doesn't sit still for much these days anyway so the thought of wrestling her for the entire show didn't seem appealing to me.

They got up and moving early that Saturday morning as all three of the boys were excited about their adventure. However, we couldn't find the Dramamine that morning and it has been proven that our Benjamin does get car sick.
We hoped he'd be fine and off they went. About two ours after they left I received a message from Don that Benjamin had gotten sick in the car. ugh. I felt bad for all of them. However, it didn't stop the fun of their outing.

That night upon their return the boys came bursting in the door rambling with excitement about their day. They LOVED Monster Jam and Daddy totally spoiled them with souvenirs (I asked if there were anything left their for the other fans!) Even Daddy got a Monster Jam World Tour shirt and confessed that "Everyone has a little redneck in 'em."

Overall, a very memorable day in the lives of our young monster truck lovers' lives.
