Let's Go Blues!

Andrew went to his first hockey game on Friday night - Blues vs. Blackhawks. We had excellent seats, and everything (except for food) was free because the seats were from the owner of my company. Andrew really seemed to enjoy himself, although I'm pretty sure it wasn't because he was watching the game. He loved clapping and yelling along with the crowd. Had fun watching the "giant TV" hanging above the rink. Climbed up and down the seat about thirty times. Played "gimme five" with the guy behind us. Danced in the aisle. Watched the Dish Network blimp flying through the arena. We had a lot of fun and even ended up on the Jumbotron during a shot of the crowd.
Check out the feast of chicken tenders, fries, and chocolate milk. Now that's a healthy dinner. In case anyone is curious, Andrew isn't even heavy enough to hold down the seat bottom. We had to hold it down with our knees so he could sit or stand (he did that a lot too!)

This is a picture from our seats between the first and second periods.

Blackhawks vs. Blues. No, not really. These kids were so little. Look how tall the referee is compared to them. Andrew could be out there in a couple of years.
Blackhawks vs. Blues - for real this time. The Blues won 1-0 with a goal in the third period. We didn't see it because we left at the end of the second period because Andrew was tired. In case you were wondering, Andrew seemed to cheer for both teams. Really he cheered whenever the crowd cheered. Susie, on the other hand, cheered for the Blues. (Sorry, Chicagoans!) She also cheered for the Cardinals during the 2006 World Series and for the Colts during Super Bowl XLI.
