We got tickets to the Chiefs pre-season game on Thursday! So Dad took Julia for her first live Chiefs experience. Before the game,we stopped at Taco Bell across from the stadium to eat, a severe thunderstorm rolled in, they delayed the Chiefs game, Taco Bell lost power, and we ended up staying there for an hour and a half! Finally, the storm parted and we walked to Arrowhead just a couple minutes after kickoff. Even though it was pre-season, it was much louder and high energy then any sports even Julia's been too. This ain't no Royals game! Luckily, the Chiefs scored three touchdowns in the first 45 minutes so she got to cheer and dance and scream and clap many many times.
Of course, staying in one small seat for three hours is not possible in a 5 year old world. So, we took silly pictures, went for snacks, and chased KC Wolf until we caught him for a photo opp. Julia loved the malt . . . maybe too much. She looks a little malt tipsy. I'm cutting her off at 1/2 a malt next time.
Julia insisted we stay until the end. Seriously! I asked several times if she wanted to leave, but she wouldn't have it. She kept asking, "Is it midnight?" She was loving the action. After the game ended we took one final picture, where it appears Julia's malt tipsy state has moved into full blown malt puke prevention. Finally, after a night of Chiefs football, lots of cheering and screaming, loads of sugar goodness, and a long walk back to the car, the night ended as it should: with Julia passed out in the car. We love football.

No fair! I would have totally loved to go to the Chiefs game! Wait a minute - Julia has now been to a NFL Football game and I have NEVER, I repeat, NEVER been. What is wrong with my parents? Tell Julia she has some pretty cool parents, she's a lucky girl. Looks like ya'll had fun. Really wish I could have been there!
