So, do you remember O's race in April?  He ran a one-mile race-- and got 71st for his age group (5-18 year olds).  The race generously mailed a voucher for 2 major league soccer tickets to each child who finished the race.  Saturday we went to the MLS game.

They gave us front row seats, right by the goal (at the side, so we could see the action).  And all of the mascots spent lots of time entertaining the kids in our section.  It was delightful.  O was especially proud that he could treat me to a date.

At one point, one of the mascots walked toward us on the concrete barrier in front of us.  O grabbed his hotdog from the barrier to protect it from the ginormous stuffed bison.  The bison laughed and reached out as if to take the hotdog off O's lap.  O thought this was hilarious!  It was the highlight of the game for him-- although if you ask him what was his favorite part of our date, he says, "All of it."
