This past weekend, my family had the chance to check out the biggest and best monster truck show around: MONSTER JAM!
Almost as fun as the show itself is the Party in the Pits before the show! This is your chance to get up close and personal with real monster trucks.
Those are some BIG tires!
Once we were inside Raymond James Stadium, it was time for the show to begin!

Race time with fan favorite: Gravedigger!
Monster Mutt was off the a great start, but had what I like to call, "a little setback."
Between the monster truck races, these speedy little ATVs zoomed around the course.
The final race of the evening: Lucas Oil Crusader VS Max-D. Who will be the winner?

Probably my favorite part of the show is watching just how high these trucks can jump! Check out Zombie, Monster Mutt and El Toro Loco catching some air.
Check out Max-D's freestyle run! Awesome!

Ok, ok, I will admit it. Sometimes the crashes and um... misfortunes are just as exciting to watch :)
My family had a great time as always at Monster Jam and we look forward to next year's event. You don't have to wait that long, though: Monster Jam is back in Tampa for a SECOND SHOW on February 7th!
I received complimentary tickets for the purpose of this review. All thoughts and opinions expressed are my own.
