Halloween & Football

On Halloween, Aria's friend Salem came over to our house and went trick-or-treating with Aria and Zade.  We took them through our neighborhood and they got quite a haul.  The kids then had fun manning the front door and handing out candy to all the trick-or-treaters.  Our neighborhood gets so many kids coming through, that we just sit out in front of the house in camping chairs, rather than waiting for the doorbell to ring.  It's a neat experience.

On Saturday, we decided to take the kids out for a special treat at McDonalds and while we were there, a lady sitting next to us offered us 2 tickets to the Arizona vs. Utah football game, since she wouldn't be able to use them.  Since we haven't been to a football game since we moved to Arizona, we took her up on the offer. I took Aria & Zade to the game, and Tara got a chance to relax, which rarely comes.

The kids were great at the game. It was a little loud for Aria's taste, but she made due.  They loved watching the jumbotron screen and eating all the snacks we had.  

The seats we were given were pretty close to the field, so that was fun, however, they were near a lot of Utah fans.  Since Utah was clobbering Arizona, they were always cheering, and Aria kept switching back and forth by rooting for Arizona, and then for Utah.  It was fun.  In the 3rd quarter the kids were ready to go, which was fine by me, since Arizona was starting to get blown out.  We stuck it out until the beginning of the 4th quarter and took the shuttle home.  It was a fun time.
