Aaron loves, loves, loves soccer and was so excited when a professional soccer club opened in Seattle this year -- the Seattle Sounders. (They were a lower league team that was "promoted" to professional MLS status this year.) He has been following the team and knows all the players, their positions, stats, etc. They have been undefeated so far and are the team to watch this year. Aaron wanted nothing more than to go to a game in Seattle before he left for college, but nothing was working in his favor (ticket availability, cost, Aaron's availability, someone to go with, etc.). We slightly appeased him by buying him a team jersey that he absolutely LOVED!
Rick decided to surprise him by taking him to a game last Saturday and was able to secure some mid-field tickets at only 200% of the original cost! Talk about a bargain! Aaron and Rick drove to Seattle, walked along the streets with the other fans and band into the stadium, and bought all the paraphernalia they could get their hands on (license plate frame, large flag, small car flag, soccer ball, and scarf -- they were out of the hats). Unfortunately, the Sounders experienced their first loss because the goalie was red carded. Aaron was sad, but was more happy that he got to go to the game! They had a great time! Go Sounders!

Sounds like a great Father & Son outing! Aaron is sure getting handsome, I bet it's not too long before the girls a BYU try to snatch him up!
What a great time! Thanks for all the blog posts. It is so fun to read about your family adventures.
