FC Dallas

In early May we took the kids to a FC Dallas game. We got a great deal on Groupon and thought it would be a fantastic family outing. Hudson loves soccer and we knew he would be thrilled to go. We were right about Hudson, unfortunately Parker and Elijah had different feelings. During the National Anthem they fired cannons and that is when we lost Parker. The noise freaked her out and from then on everything was too loud. She sat in her seat screaming and holding her ears. And then we had Elijah......who was tired, hot and hungry and was not excited to be confined to a small space. Finally, around half time I (Erin) took Parker and Elijah up to the top row to see if that would help with Parker's ears. It was still too loud for her so she spent the rest of the game lying down on the concrete under the seats. At some point Elijah fell asleep and I was free to enjoy/watch some of the game. On the other hand, Christian and Hudson had a wonderful time once the other two kids and I moved up. Hudson enjoys every aspect of soccer and was constantly firing questions to Christian. This kid wants to understand every aspect of the game. He loved taking in the whole atmosphere of the game. We are thrilled that he enjoyed it, but next time it will just be Hudson and one parent that gets to go! First look at the field! Our tickets allowed us to go down on the field. All the kids enjoyed this part but Hudson was ready to get to our seats and watch the game
