First Football Game...

Thanks yet again to Uncle Zach, he gave us tickets to the preseason opener game yesterday. The Patriots played Super Bowl champs, New Orleans Saints! There were six of us that went: me, mom, Nick, Colton, Phil and Riley. We decided to all pile into Phils truck since it sits 6 and we had the kids singing songs and entertaining us the entire way, (mental note, must get performances on video), it worked out well though because mom has a handicap plate and we were able to score a front row spot for tailgating...woot woot...(another mental note, bring mom christmas shopping for optimal parking spot). haha. Patriots Place is just the coolest place ever, with all the stores and things to do, we decided to pass the football most of the time and to watch the hall of fame induction and go shopping at the pro-shop. Colton won the verizon football toss game they have when you first walk in, you have three chances to get it in a hole, he got all three shots and won a t-shirt, quite impressive, people were cheering and he may have done a touchdown dance...god help me. The stadium is so big but really there isn't a horrible seat in the house, however, the kids have no idea how spoiled they were because we were 14 rows from the 20 yard line. The seats were ridiculous...you know where you see all the players, can yell to them and they hear ya...not sure if they get that in a normal situation we would be at least a 50 rows back and sitting in a nose bleed section. We got there so early we were able to see Tom Brady warm up, both teams do drills/warm ups and even meet Pat the Patriot. I don't think that Riley and Colton could have enjoyed the game any more than they did, I am pretty sure I heard them say a few times "best day ever"...melts this moms heart.
