Go Bruins

Today Nicholas and I had a much needed father son outing. He has been asking to watch football for months and I always told him that football was on a break. Well after seeing it on TV for the last 3 weeks he finally convinced me it was time to go.
On the way there we listened to Surfin USA about 28 or 29 times and we are both experts at the lyrics if anyone needs to know them.
Once we got there we had to make the half mile trek through the golf course (if you have never been to the Rose Bowl it is surrounded by a golf course where everyone parks). On the way Kiki loved running up a hill, stopping at the top, and then sprinting down them. At the top of every hill he would look at me and say "this is big boy activities." Not sure what that means or where it came from but everyone who heard him thought it was hilarious. The other funny part was through the golf course they had one of those huge storm drain wash thingys (forget what they are called) with water running through it. Nicholas decided this was the cheyenne river and told everyone all about it.
Once at the game he had a blast eating licorice, grapes, and cookies. He enjoyed the game for awhile until it became just to darn hot. He really liked me dumping water all over him and it got us through until half time when we decided we had enough fun. So we walked for 25 min's back to the car picking up sticks and playing in the sand. Below is the video of a touchdown celebration. The first is a touchdown but the camera was so zoomed in I had to take a second video of Nicholas up close. In the first one you can hear him cheer and the 2nd is his dance.



***My absolute highlight of the day was while walking to the game Nicholas looked up at me while holding my hand and said out of the blue "Daddy, you're my best friend." So I of course cried in front of 100,000 people :)
