Yesterday we went to the Metrodome for the final Monster Truck Rally there. The whole family went this time, versus just Evan and Tim last year. I gave Emma the choice of doing a Christmas play and lunch with me or the Monster Truck Rally and she choose the rally.... (I am not sure she would again) But she did have a good time!
It was really loud (we all hard ear protection), somewhat smelly, and great for people watching! We had the usual snacks - popcorn, pretzels, cotton candy, and had a pretty good time. We took the light rail into the city which the kids always love and while we had a bit of a wait getting out of the Metrodome, overall the whole trip went really well. We didn't get home until about 11:30, which we paid for a bit by the kids attitudes, but they had fun.
Evan was so animated and excited throughout the whole thing, it was pretty fun to watch. The Freestyle Event was the best where the trucks are jumping over dirt piles and other cars, doing flips, and spinning around.
It was a fun time. Evan picked out a 2013 Monster Jam FreeStyle Video as a souvenir to bring home (which surprised me over a toy) and we already watched it today. The event won't be back to the Cities until 2016 or so until we get a new stadium built so I am sure Evan will be making another trip then.
