Salt Lake ReAl

Saturday night we went to the Salt Lake ReAl soccer game. I have never been to the Rio Tinto Stadium before and absolutely LOVED it! I think any seat in the stadium is a good seat to watch the soccer games. The team did well although they lost 0-2 which is disappointing. It's never fun to watch the team you are rooting for lose but it was still a good game. It was fun being with the family and seeing Annika (and Alisha & Brian) since we don't see them often. Annika woke up with a cough & runny nose that morning but was still cheerful and fun.

She actually started yelling at the players like everyone else in the crowd without us even coaxing her to do so. We got a good laugh out of it. My dad and Austin also won a contest and were able to go down on the ReAl field during half time and get their prize while being shown on the big screen. ;^) Good times, good times. Oh and this was the first sold out game since 1999!!!! While we were walking there we saw tons and tons of fans (in ReAl shirts) walking the other way. I had no idea the games were so big but I'm glad we got our tickets ahead of time. I would def go to another game!

we have been wanting to go to a game this summer. i'm glad it was fun!

mike told me he saw you at the bank--he felt like an idiot cause he thought we knew each other from high school. so he said he was asking dumb questions, and he figured you left thinking, "gosh, he's an idiot!!" :)
