Yeeha! We took the kids on a 'mystery tour' last night as an early treat for Jake's birthday, and to celebrate the end of the first half term. Jake has long been a fan of monster trucks, and watches them on TV, so when Neil heard that Monster Jam was coming to town, he couldn't resist!
I wasn't sure that Jaz would enjoy it so much but how wrong can you be? She was whooping and cheering on with the rest of the crowd and got really into the spirit of it. It was good family fun, and it was hilarious to see all the dressed up members of the audience in their mullet wigs and dungarees!
It was our first trip to the Pengrowth Saddledome, home of the Calgary Flames NHL team. It is a 20,000 seater indoor stadium which, as well as being a competition hockey rink, is also a concert venue. It was built just over 20 years ago for the 1988 winter olympics and gains it's name from it's unusually shaped roof. Jake is now desperate to go back and watch a Flames match. He's got really into the ice hockey scene here and watches the Flames games nightly on TV. Watch this space...I expect a return visit is imminent!
