The Crew!

We really wanted to go to a Crew game and they happened to be playing the night we got there. We were worried about the weather and it did get really cold but the kids didn't complain once! We saw some really good soccer and our team ended up winning 2-1. When they scored they would shoot yellow streamers high into the air to fall over the crowd which absolutely thrilled Paige and she spent some time collecting them. We were also near the section of fans that get all nutty (i.e. standing the whole time, some shirtless, and singing catchy cheers) which I think made it all the more entertaining; their enthusiasm was contagious. Afterwards, kids were allowed to go on the field and kick a goal so we got in line. Owen shot his as soon as they counted down but I think Paige was a little apprehensive because the mascot was in the goal and she wanted nothing to do with him.
