Real Salt Lake vs. San Jose Earthquakes

Wednesday we had tickets to go to a soccor game. As we drove up to Salt Lake, it started raining so we were kinda wondering if we'd be watching a game at all. 3 kids and rain or snow usually isn't a good combination. As we got to our seats though, the sun came through the clouds. The Real Salt Lake team doesn't have their stadium finished so it was at the University of Utah stadium. Madilyn was really interested in the buildings at the school and you could tell Chris was excited that she had interest in his college as he showed the kids around a bit. Our team scored 3 goals within the first 10 minutes or so. It was awesome and even the kids got into cheering them on. There was a point in the game where two of their soccor players were both going to head the ball and instead of hitting the ball, they collided, head to head and there was a horrible sound that came from it. Both were down on the ground and taken to the hospital. We were a little worried about Madilyn passing out but she held her own.Halfway through the game, the clouds started looking ominous.
And the last 20 minutes of the game looked like this. We stayed despite the snow and everyone had a great time! Real won 4 to 0!!!

What a fun day. And they won too, that always makes it more exciting. We love taking the kids to sporting events. They do surprisingly well.
