Family Night

Last Saturday we had a great family night!  Mark got us tickets to the Bandits game and we had a blast!  We weren't really sure if it was kid friendly but it was perfect.

We started with a "fancy" dinner at Pearl Street.  Claire was thrilled to be at a "fancy" restaurant.  Everyone was watching the Sabres game and yelling and cheering and Claire thought that was just awesome.

Uncle Johnny was working so he stopped on his break to visit with us. This made Claire's night even better!!!  She was thrilled to see her buddy!  Oliver was an angel the whole time at dinner.  He just sat in his carseat and took it all in.  He loves anyplace that is noisy and loud.

Then it was game time.  We got a to have a special ride in Uncle Johnny's police car.  You can only imagine how proud Claire was about that.

 Uncle Johnny even came in and walked us up to our seats.  Claire was so proud to walk with him and hold his hand.

We were up a little high but Claire still had a blast.  She loved all the loud music and of course the snacks!  She kept dancing in her seat and singing!  She thought is was super awesome when we would score and everyone would yell and jump out of their seats.  She kept saying, "It's ok to yell in here Mama because it is a game and we can do that even if we are inside ok."

Oliver loved all the noise and busyness.  I thought he might get a little freaked out but he was just fine.  He sat on Mark's lap the whole time and just looked around.  He was lovin' the waters at the game!

Needless to say both of the kids passed out after about 3 second in the car.  Of course Claire woke up as soon as I was going to take her picture.  But I did get a sleeping shot of Oliver.  Look at that face.  I could just eat him up!!!!
