Daniel's first BC Lions game

For Grampa Terry's birthday, we gave him tickets to go see the BC Lions with Daniel, James and myself. So, on Saturday, we all took the Skytrain downtown to see the game. Daniel had so much fun! First of all, he loved the Skytrain!


We decided to go a bit early to see the street party that is held outside the stadium before every home game. That was a little overwhelming for Daniel. (For Grampa, too, I think!) Daniel was really afraid of the Lions' mascot. We didn't stay there long and decided to head into the stadium to get our seats. Daniel had seen lots of kids carrying a big foam lion's paw and he absolutely loved it. So Daddy decided to spoil him and get it for him. It was well worth the $10 just to get a picture of the big smile on Daniel's face!



I don't think any of us were all that interested in the outcome of the game. (The Lions did end up winning by quite a bit.) But it was really fun watching Daniel have such a great time.




We enjoyed the halftime show, which was in honour of all the veterans. There were many marching bands and Daddy had to teach Daniel all about them.

James also had to teach Daniel about the Felions! Daniel commented that the ladies were wearing no pants!

Daniel got a little antsy every once in a while and needed to go on quite a few walks around the stadium. But, otherwise, he was really good. He loved dancing to the music they played in between downs. He looked so serious doing his dancing! When everyone started chanting, "BC! BC!" Daniel was chanting along with the fans. Only his chanting was more like, "BC! DE! FG!" Overall, it was a fun evening out with Grampa!
