For the past 3 years we have gone to Las Vegas for the Monster Jam World Finals. These pictures are from this year March 27-30,2009. We have stayed at Sam's Town Hotel & Casino for the last 2 trips. We really like it here, it is family friendly and it is close to the stadium where the monster truck show is.
This is us in front of the HUGE waterfall in the middle of the hotel They put on a laser light show a few times a day that is pretty cool. They have bridges, animals and a little stream that runs through the middle of the hotel.
We start out the morning of the show at the pit party. All of the trucks are out in a huge field where the drivers sign autographs and take pictures. There are all sorts of activities including riding on a monster truck, which we did and it was way fun. While we are on the ride they decided to film for
monsterjamonline and they interviewed Jon's niece Bailey and you can see J
on in the video along w/ my back. I will see if i can get it on my blog.
This picture is of Hudson & Cannon w/ Monster Mutt.
Us girls had to get in on the action. My mom, Anita, Bailey & me! This was a cool looking truck!
This truck is Monster
Trakker and he is a more local driver here in Salt Lake. It has been Hudson's favorite truck for awhile.
Here is Cannon & Bailey (Hudson's Cousins) They all had a lot of fun together
Anita said she needed a picture of her & Mike for her family reunion video so she decided that a monster truck picture would be cool!
After the pits we went back to the hotel and rested up for the big show! We headed back that night and this is the field that the show takes place on before the trucks destroyed it!
Most trucks end up like this!
This was Grady for most of the show. Even with as loud as it was he just kept on sleeping!
Here is Huddy, he always very happy to be wherever monster trucks are!
Here we are after the show, you can see that the track is different than when it started.
The next day we took some time and went to one of my favorite places to eat in Vegas, The Rainforest Cafe. Even though Jon hates it he went for me! Thanks Jon!
Here are all of us at dinner
All in all it was a fun trip and I am sure that we will be gong next year. I do live and will
forever be in "boys town" and have to do the monster truck thing! I love my boys and I am glad that they have something to enjoy so much!
