Monster Jam

We headed to Evansville Saturday afternoon to watch Monster Jam at Robert's Stadium. The boys had a great time! We did too...We had free pit passes before the show to get autographs from the drivers and pictures with the trucks and 4-wheelers also.

This is the Cannon Lady...she shoots across the stadium out of her truck/cannon (behind her)

This 4-wheeler rider was showing Gavin what it feels like to do a trick!This is Jim Koehler, driver of The Avenger...

This is my brother Steve, driver of Brutus. Just kidding, his name is really Chris Bergeron, but he reminded us of Steve. He also drove Brutus, which is designed like a dog and Kelly and Jeremy have a big dog named Brutus. We were rooting for him!
Gavin, all smiles!
Before the show, you can see Cannon Lady's truck in the middle, and just how small of an area these trucks had to move around.
The Avenger...

Nitemare getting some "big air". This was Gavin's favorite truck.

A little video footage of Brutus in the "Freestyle" event.

Overall, it was a good time. Thanks to Kelly and Jeremy for the Ticketmaster gift cards for Christmas which inspired us to go! We are looking forward to the end of Feb. going to St. Louis Monster Jam.

It was a good weekend for Monster Jam! Looks like the pit passes were the way to go! I found out about those on Friday and Angie and Scott were already scheduled to come Friday (even though Kyle wound up sick and they didn't get to come) but the pit passes were only good for Saturday so we missed out! Gabe would've liked that.
If you're ever headed to another event in Evansville, I have to tell ya that we live right here and we've got a spare bedroom that we'd be happy to share if you're too tired to drive back home! And a futon for the boys...you'd have the whole basement to yourself!
