Monster Jam!!

On Saturday night Luke and I took the kids to see Monster Jam at Angel Stadium. He bought 6 tickets.... 3 for us (Wyatt was free) and three for the Badrauns (Boston was free). We all met Tyler and his girlfriend Camden there in the parking lot and had sandwiches and snacks and some beers (Luke bought Pabtsts Blue Ribbon in attempt to be as whitetrash as possible). The boys all brought their scooters and skateboards to ride in the parking lot so that kept them busy for a long time. Ambra and Dustin and the kids showed up too right before we went in. Finally at 730 we went in. The older boys dragged me and Jen to our seats, literally running up the ramps to get there, while the little ones were on dads' shoulders. We got there just in time. The kids were in awe. Radyn hated the loud part of it but smart Jen brought ear plugs for them, Jack wouldnt wear them but I knew he wouldnt, he never does at stuff like that. Wyatt I finally put them on cuz he was getting scared everytime a truck revved up. It was so cool though. I had never been. The truck races were cool but the best part was the freestyle at the end when all the trucks were going crazy and flipping over and smoking. It was really neat. However I think MY favorite part was the trailer races. Sooo hilarious. They took these old beat up cars and attached old beat up trailers with something old and beat up on the trailer and these cars raced around the dirt slamming into each other and making all their stuff fly off their trailers. Pieces of old boats, trailer parts, tires and remains of the beat up cars were flying all over the track. At one point on of the cars drove up onto one of the trailers and the guy was hauling this car around. I think only 3 cars out of like 10 ended up finsihing the race and not crashing or blowing up haha. It was awesome. I laughed so hard. Wyatt finally crashed on my lap about 945, out cold, literally drooling on my chest under blankets and sweatshirts with his beanie over his face. Cant believe he slept through that. It was really cool and the kids had alot of fun. Radyn and Boston are the same age as my boys so they are always into the same things and its nice for all of us that they each have a buddy. Not to mention both sets of boys are exactly alike. Radyn and Jack are the sweet kids, so good (most of the time) and then Boston and Wyatt are the holy terrors. Everything, from their attitudes down to their body styles, are so alike its scary! Anyways, I think the four of us parents decided to make this an annual tradition with our boys! Lots of cute pictures to share with you....
