Monster Jam

We saw Monster Jam was coming to Tampa and planned to take the boys. They went in the Spring to one in Ocala with their daddies and Pappy and had a big time, so we thought they’d love to go again.

We’d hoped to get tickets for the Pit Party, so that the boys could actually touch the trucks and meet the drivers, but those were sold out when we got ours. Boo.

Lauren had shirts made for the boys with Grave Digger on them. They turned out so cute.

We decided to get to the arena early, and double check with the box office there to see if we could get in for the Pit Party… again no luck.

Plan B was to walk a couple blocks down to the aquarium. The boys were just fine with plan B and had a great time. We grabbed some lunch and then made our way back to the Arena.

We hit the merchandise tables first, because the boys wanted new Monster Jam hats.

While we were standing in line, the driver for El Toro Loco walked by! It happened so fast, but we were able to get a quick pic and a high five!

We had the boys pics taken “in the Grave Digger” truck which was just a green screen that they photo-shopped, but still adorable..

and then found our seats. They were fantastic! It was precious watching the little boys take it all in and yell and cheer and WOW!!! at the big jumps. Precious.

The show was right in the middle of nap time so we weren’t sure how it was going to go, but the boys hung strong – but Tucker finally gave it up in the last 5 minutes.

It was such a fun day with our little guys!
