The last time Monster Jam had a show in the Bay Area (Oakland Arena) it rained. The boys and my hubby really wanted to watch these monster trucks for as long as I can remember. But the closest Arena is going to be in Fresno. Since hubby didn’t have to work on that Saturday, I planned on surprising them to see the show.
So I went online and purchased tickets (cost me $96.40), printed directions (2.5 hours drive one-way), prepared snacks (crackers and H20 bottles for each), packed our bags and hoping it wouldn’t rain last time. The kids kept asking where we’re going but I insisted on not telling them until we get there. So for the next two and a half hours, we were bombarded with the ever famous “are we there yet”. We got there 2 hrs before the show and parking is already full. We got a spot and the kids were still clueless until we got to the ticket booth. There were teenagers selling flags for $5 and we got the boys 1 each ( they said cool, still no idea!).
When we got to the main entrance and they saw this huge monster truck, that’s when they started screaming! “Mommy look Blue Thunder!!! We are in MONSTER JAM!!! Thank you Mommy BEST DAY EVER!” My heart still swells up just remembering the look on their faces.
It was actually fun and very entertaining show. I suggest you give your kiddies headphones since ear plugs didn’t stay on. Very loud show.
