Monster Jam @Allstate Arena through Feb 9th!

Disclaimer:  My family was provided with tickets to the even for purposes of this review.  All opinions are still my own.

Last night the boys had an awesome time going to Monster Jam at the Allstate Arena in Rosemont.  This was Chris's second time and as soon as he heard we were going to see Monster trucks he was so excited.  He is 4 years old and remembers going to it last year and just how awesome it is.  My husband went for the first time this year and he had an awesome time too.  He claims he had more fun then the kids but I'm not so sure.  Chris has been setting up a Monster truck stage with his cars and talking about it non stop.

If you ask Chris what he liked the best he will tell you when the giant T-Rex came out and started eating the cars.  Um yeah trucks and dinosaurs you are talking about little boy heaven!  If you ask my husband what he liked best he will say the dirt bikes, four wheelers, and the monster truck crashing!  Yes they got to see a crash which was a first for everyone.  So pretty cool.

Overall the show is a great experience for everyone young and old.  I think it triggers the man gene in all the boys and gets their adrenaline going just hearing the motors revving their engines, and they are loud!  I highly recommend if you are going to bring ear plugs and noise canceling headphones for everyone in your group.

There are still awesome seats left.  We sat pretty far back, row M in the second level, but had no problem seeing all the action.  It was a great time and I can't wait to go again next year.

Monster trucks can fly up to 125 to 130 feet (a distance greater than 14 cars side by side) and up to 35 feet in the air. Monster Jam, sanctioned by the United States Hot Rod Association, is the most popular monster truck tour, performing to over 4 million fans annually at the most prestigious arenas and stadiums throughout the world.

Disney on Ice-Let's Celebrate! #DisneySide #Review

Disclosure:  My family was provided tickets to the event but all thoughts and opinions are always my own!

 Anything related to Disney is magical.  I cannot explain it but it just is.  Their Disney on Ice shows are no exception and their current show Let's Celebrate brings a piece of the Disney Parks straight to your doorstep.  Chris was so excited and all day he had been asking me when we were leaving for Mickey on ice.  It was finally time and he was practically dragging us out the door.  I have never seen him so excited.

When the show starts it is very exciting for me so I can only imagine how it feels to the children.  The arena gets dark and it starts with a huge opening number with a huge cast of characters from Alice to Belle and of course all your favorites like Mickey and Minnie.  The show goes on with a great celebration story line.  Chris loved seeing his personal favorites like Captain Hook and Buzz Lightyear.  He even enjoyed all the princesses - I think he is in love with ALL of them.  

I always leave wanting more and can't wait until the next event.  Chris had so much fun he cannot wait to go back either.  If you haven't make sure you get your tickets and be sure to use the discount code below!  There are still awesome seats left and parking is FREE!

Monster Jam is Coming to Rosemont Feb 7-9!!

*Disclaimer:  My family and I will be given tickets to the show but all thoughts and opinions are my own.

My boys, including my big boy Josh (a.k.a. my husband), all nearly lost it when they found out Monster Jam would be coming to Chicago in less then a month.  February 7th-9th the Allstate Arena in Rosemont is going to be taken over by the coolest thing ever to these guys, MONSTER TRUCKS!!!  I took my older son Chris last year when he was 3 and he had a blast.  He was mesmerized by the huge trucks that seemed to fly through the air.  I have been looking forward to taking him again and it is finally here.
