A group of us went to the Knights game to celebrate two birthdays: Dan's and our friends Ian's. Dan's folks came, too, along with our new neighbors across the street. We haven't been to a game since last year, but it's always so much fun to take them and see the game through their eyes. They were mesmerized by the crowds, the field and most of all, the food! They had their first corn dog and devoured their favorite thing...french fries (kids after my own heart for sure!). They were content to sit for about 3 minutes, and then they wanted to walk around for a bit to check out the stadium. Luckily we were sitting in a section where they could wander around for a bit, and there was enough of us in the group that we could block off a section for the kids. Overall, they did amazingly well and were troopers until the end of the game.
They were having fireworks after the game, but we had planned on leaving before then so Luke and Olivia and could go to bed. We didn't think they would make it until 10:30pm. As comes with parenthood, they surprised us yet again and made it until then, although poor little Luke could barely keep his eyes open. He fell asleep as soon as his pjs were on and he was in his carseat. Olivia absolutely loved the fireworks and would tell me "mommy, that's a BIG one. mommy, that's a red one, a blue one" and on and on. Fireworks with commentary...loved it!
I think we will definitely check out more games this year, although we may wait until later in the season and it's a little cooler. Thank goodness for night games!
