Monster truck show.

As part of the boy's Christmas present, we took them to the Monster Jam at the Tacoma Dome in early January. Both boys, especially Drew loves monster trucks, so they both were very excited to go. It was pretty much an all day deal since you could get there before the show and go down to the pits to meet the drivers and get some good pics. We did this for an hour or so and then headed out for an early lunch at the Ram brewery in town. We headed back for the show and settled in for the main event. We had heard that it was very loud, but it was MUCH louder than we expected. Thank god we brought ear muffs for the boys and ear plugs for us. The quad racers and motor cross guys were really fun to watch, but the Monster Jam and of course the cotton candy were definitely the highlight!

pics with some of the quad racers. These guys are nuts!

Drew in a quarter midget car. They had a few races with these during the show, which was really fun to watch. Noah was very impressed and now wants to start racing them. We are thinking of getting him started in the next year or so since they usually start them around age 5 or 6 and can go up to age 16. Apparently it's safer than little league. Who knew?

after lunch we enjoyed the sunshine for a bit before we headed back to the smoky dome full of exhaust fumes.
