Monster Nation

Published: 07 February 2010 - Written by admin in section: Our Family

Last night I took Little Man to see Monster trucks and motorcross at the Monster Nation show. To be honest, I had very little interest in going and a great deal of anxiety about what he was going to see there, but I was convinced to go by friends who have a child the same age.

You can click on the collage pictures above to see a bit of the event–sorry they’re a little blurry! The cars were moving FAST! I didn’t even get a single good picture of the motorcross–some of them it just looked like a ghost was floating through the air because they were going so fast!

Much to my surprise, I am now giving this show my stamp of approval (and realizing that I can’t force my child to live in a bubble to protect him from everything). It was an amazing show and I would definitely recommend it the experience to parents of any child who loves cars and trucks. The show was pretty late (8 p.m.! Little Man’s bedtime!) but I planned a late nap for him and it worked out great. Plus, to see Little Man’s face–so excited–and to hear him happily chatter away in the backseat on the way home–totally worth it! His eyes were GLUED to the arena during the entire show!

A couple of words of caution:
1)Â I noticed that a lot of parents didn’t bring earplugs.Â This is a LOUD show (read as: HEARING DAMAGING).Â There is no way that I would have let Little Man watch the Monster Trucks without them.

2) If you are taking kids (or if you value your lungs), buy the cheaper seats and sit higher up.Â The seats towards the bottom are subject to strong exhaust fumes.Â Plus, you’ll save a few bucks!
