Our family of three hit the streets of Las Vegas a few weeks ago for the   Monster Jam world Finals! I know some may think we are crazy and  taking  this monster truck thing a bit too far but honestly, those are  the only  thing our kid plays with.......and an excuse to go to Vegas. I  was  pleasantly surprised at how kid friendly Vegas has become. I did  my  research before and came prepared with a list of free and a few paid   activities. The day we got there we checked into our hotel (we stayed  at  Bally's which I was worried about but ended up great) then headed to  to  Mirage for the Sigfried and Roy Secret Garden. Easton was over the  moon  with the dolphins, white tigers and lions, jaguar and white tiger  cubs.  We ate at Treasure Island that night where we watched the pirate  ship  sink right from our dinner table at this BBQ place. Best seats in  the  house.
On Friday we got up and did a little more exploring before heading to  the stadium for the Pit Party. We got to see all the trucks up close and  personal, meet a few of the drivers and pick up a souvenir or two. We  then headed back to the hotel for a little snooze before going right  back out to dinner then the main event!  Easton sat on our laps for  three hours watching the show which is a record for him!




All in all it was a wonderful trip with some much needed family time for the three of us. As long as the monster truck craze continues we will be back next year.
