Week of sporting events

This has definitely been the week of sporting events for us. Rob and I went to the Vikings game on Sunday and were finally at a football game where the team won! It's been a long Gopher football season, especially when we have season tickets.


Tuesday we took Cooper to his first Timberwolves game. He has been very interested in mascots at other sporting events we have taken him to, so in preparation before the game we told him about Crunch and he was so excited. When we were standing in line to get into the Target center there were some cheerleaders talking with people as they were standing in line. When we got up to her Cooper turned really shy and kept hiding behind one of us. He wouldn't even give her five - which is his normal ice breaker. We found our way to our seats and for the first half all we heard about was the cheerleaders. "Where are they?" "Why are they hiding?" "I want to go talk to them!" and so on. As we were talking about leaving I glanced over and saw Crunch two sections away from our seats. We grabbed our stuff and quickly headed over there. Cooper got to give Crunch a high five (with Rob's help), get a Crunch tattoo and get his picture taken with him.


After meeting Crunch I thought he had forgotten about the cheerleaders but as we were leaving he wanted to go see if he could find the cheerleaders.


Last night we went to Rob's alma matter Wayzata High school with Andy and Harrison Watt to watch a conference championship game between Wayzata and Eden Prairie. Once again we left around half time but Wayzata won by one point in overtime!
