Salt Lake City Fun

Monster Jams finally came to Salt Lake City! Jacoby is obsessed with Monster Trucks lately, so it was a big weekend for him. Last weekend, we were supposed to go to Ely, NV for our annual Speer family trip, but Jacoby got pneumonia and him and I had to stay home. So, he missed out on seeing Grandpa and going ice fishing and swimming - all of which he was really looking forward to. The poor kid just didn't understand why he had to stay home. To make up for it, Grandpa Speer came to Salt Lake to go to Monster Jams with Jacoby. They had a blast and Jacoby was in heaven.

We got to Salt Lake and I dropped Jacoby and Dominic off at the Trax station and they met Pops there and took the train to the Monster Jam show. Jacoby and Grandpa were having a great time on the train.

They got "Pit Passes". Before the show started, they had a Pit Party and you could get up close and see the trucks and meet the drivers. They had these little go-carts for the kids to sit in since they wouldn't let them actually touch the big trucks.


Maximum Destruction! Jacoby likes this truck and Grave Digger. He really wanted to touch the trucks and sit in the wheels. Security had to stop him more than once.

This kid loves his Grandpa!

This is the end of the Pit Party. Everybody had gone to their seats and they started setting up the track.

Uncle Jeff and Cousin Brad were there too!

After the Monster Jams, we stayed the night at Bobbi and Matties with the family. We had a great night and the next day, we went to the Aquarium. Jacoby thought that was great fun too, but Riley was tired and grumpy. We didn't take many pictures because the camera battery was almost dead from the day before so I rationed the picture taking.

He was poking him in the face. Poor Grandpa was a good sport.

This picture turned out a bit blurry, but it's adorable!

And this was on our way home. Poor Riley was up early and did a lot of running around over the weekend. He was just getting over a double ear infection too, and he was wiped out. He slept the whole way home. Dom snapped this right as he was starting to wake up. It was a great weekend! One that Jacoby won't ever forget.
