Monster Truck Weekend

Jace and I had a fun day on Saturday - starting with "kung fu" gymnastics and then Monster Truck Jam at the Tacoma Dome. It was hilarious and a lot of fun. The pictures tell the story for Jace - the sound of the Monster Trucks FREAKED him out initially (me, too) and the ear plugs I brought were not going to do the trick. So I hustled out to the nearest merchandise stand and bought him these adorable ear phone-things.

After the initial shock of it all Jace and I really enjoyed ourselves in our own little private area - its the Press Box in the Tacoma Dome. Thank you Jocelyn for the tickets. It was nice having an entire area to just roam around and not have people right next to you.

He did enjoy himself - he was screaming and yelling by the end - who won? Why is that one broken? Two of the Monster Trucks broke during the freestyle competition...honestly, it was crazy to watch.
Look how high this truck got? I went to a Monster Truck show once when I was a kid and I didn't remember all that much, mostly smashing cars. I didn't realize they jumped so high. All in all, Jace had a blast and so did I. It was nice to have some one on one time with Jace. He is growing up so fast.
