Go Chiefs!

We went to our first NFL football game today. It was MC and Nate's first as well as mine. Our seats were as high as you can get, the Chiefs lost to the Chargers miserably, and we left at half time because of the rain, but we still had a good time. It was quite nostalgic for Brandon as he remembers going to his first Falcons game with his dad; it was Falcons versus the Los Angeles Rams. He remembers getting new cowboy boots on the way to the game that they filled with the 'hot hands' because it was so cold. But back to today....
Upon arrival it was sunny and quite comfortable, but it quickly went to cloudy and much chillier.

Check out the wall behind us. :) We could still see everything quite well and it was certainly loud enough. Nate was actually a little scared by the decibel level of all the pre-game festivities.

The pregame festivities included 4 black hawk helicopters that flew through the stadium. They got close enough that we could see the soldiers aboard waving. Very cool. I wish I had thought to get the camera out earlier, but I was just in such awe.

I wasn't aware that the Chief's mascot was a wolf. Nate enjoys his foam wolf claw. Argh! The kicker on the Chargers team was named Nate. We all got a kick out of that.

MC opted for a pink #1. Go Chiefs.

We love us some hot dogs and they taste even better at a stadium!

We were impressed with the multiple uses of the foam claw on the way home. The kids fashioned a table for their Go Fish game.

It was a fun afternoon! Hope you all enjoyed a great weekend!
