First Philadelphia Union Home Game

Yesterday was the first ever Philadelphia Union soccer home game. Daddy was so excited for this day. He couldn't wait to have his three favorite things all together (you, Mommy, and soccer). We had a long day planned which included tailgating before the game. We weren't sure you would be able to handle all the noise and festivities, but you were a champ! Best baby ever! We are learning that it takes you about 30 minutes to an hour to warm up to a new environment. This held true for tailgating. Initially you wouldn't leave my arms, but after a little warming up you were hamming it up for everyone.

Here we are saying "Cheers!":

You had fun holding on to the chairs when we got to our seats. I turned around for a second and you started crawling fast down the aisle. This was shocking to me since you are never that daring. You usually never touch dirty floors either. I've got my eye on you now.

We finally sat down. Here you are with Daddy.

You enjoyed all the sights and sound of the whole game. You were even happy after bed time came and went. The Union won the game and fireworks went off. Here you are staring at the fireworks:

It was a great day. Since Daddy bought season tickets we will have many more days like this (so it's a good thing you had fun too). Daddy and I kept telling ourselves that we have the best baby ever. Thanks for being awesome.

Love,

Mama
