Monster Jam

Lately I've been winning tickets to go see fun stuff with the kids. Last week was the Ringling brother tickets. I even won the grand prize putting me 4 rows from the front plus $40 in snack vouchers! The kids loved it. Last Friday we drove all the way out to Primm to see the monster trucks. It wasnt as amazing as the one held at Sam Boyd but it gave Jacob a small taste at how loud the drag races would be.

We told him Friday morning that he would get to see monster trucks. I love it when we have something to hold over the kids. Kind of motivation to get them to do the things that they would normally whine about. Jacob even took a nap to prep for the night ahead of him.

When we got into the arena he was so quiet. When we sat down he was still so quiet. I thought for sure when he heard the trucks reving their engines he would say something but nothing. When they pulled in his eyes got huge. I would have loved to have taken his picture at that very moment. The look was priceless. He sat thru it though. Smiling and amazed as the giant trucks smashed the ity bity cars.

It wasnt until the next day when is daddy came home with a toy truck for him. When he saw it, he realized that it was the same truck he saw the night before.  All he could say was it did donuts!

I'm so happy that its the simplist things that make him happy. Oh yea the older 2 were pretty excited as well. Riley is now saving for a dirt bike so he can do tricks like the bikers that were there.
