When Monster Jam comes to town, you better believe our family is going to be there, This past weekend was all about Monster Jam! My boys have been looking forward to going to Monster Jam at Angels Stadium in Anaheim for months, it's become an annual tradition.
But this year, the experience was a little different for all of us because it was my first year attending! Usually the boys have a night out and I get a night to myself. But I thought that it would be fun to join them this year, and see what it was all about. And that deserves a blog post of photos to document!
I am glad that I joined the kids at Monster Jam!!! It was so much fun. It's not just for kids, it's not just for boys...girls and moms love it too.
First up, we all went to the Pit Party, which happens a few hours before the Monster Jam show. It's a separate ticketed event, where you can get up close to actual monster trucks and even meet the drivers. There are also booths with hands-on activities, game booths and food vendors.
I'll let the photos speak for themselves. We got a lot of great photos with our favorite Monster Trucks. The Pit Party is equally as fun at the main Monster Jam show.
All of us really enjoyed the Pit Party, even both of the grandpas who came too! Then we headed back to our car for a tailgate dinner....because that is what you do at Monster Jam.
After dinner, it was time to head into Angels Stadium. We we ready to see the Monster Jam trucks show us what they could do. It was all very exciting to see it all ready and set-up for a Monster Jam race and freestyle competition.
The stadium gets super loud once the trucks get going, so it's really important to protect those kids ears from the noise...I suggest headphones. A even adults can enjoy the benefits of ear plugs.
The first half of Monster Jam is the racing portion. The monster trucks dual for the top spot of the competition. There are also a few quad races between the monster trucks.
El Toro Loco won this part of the competition and it was great to see him drive all over the field snorting smoke in celebration.
Next up was the freestyle competition, probably the crowds' most favorite part of the evening. All of the monster trucks perform their best tricks for the audience, who seems to love it when they crash or flip over. the tricks they do are pretty awesome as well...can you believe that two of the monster trucks did a 360º back flip?!! It was pretty amazing.
I was especially excited to see Monster Mutt Dalmation who has a girl driver. I'm all for girl power. But in the end, it was Hot Wheels who won. He was one of the trucks that did a back flip and a bunch of pretty amazing tricks. The crowd went wild.
Wow! Monster Jam sure didn't disappoint.
I'm so glad that I finally got to experience Monster Jam with my boys. I would have never known that I was missing out, but now I am always going to go with them! Good thing there' is still one more weekend left this month to's always a Monster Jam show coming up. Monster Jam comes to Orange County at least once a year. So if you want to go, make sure to get your tickets soon before they sell out.
