date day

as a christmas present from matt and laura, matt got 2 tickets for he and isaiah to go to a blazer game. yesterday was the big day. while going to a pro game is electric enough in and of it's self, the talk was mostly about the food. daddy spending lots of money on crappy food...now that's something to look forward to!

i was so excited for the boys to have a day where they went out alone. that doesn't happen much...actually, never. i was filled with a sense that it should become a priority. date days for each kid, alone with both or one of the parents. isaiah was completely beside himself all day. we could not control him, he was just so excited. they rode public transportation and arrived at the game early to catch all that they could.

eating french fries, ice cream and watching a high school band play were the highlights. not to mention blaze, the mascot, dunking the ball. my heart was full as i watched them drive away and as i saw their happy faces when they returned.

yes, date day has been solidified. and thanks to matt and laura for making it happen!

Date day is a great idea for creating many memories! And, yes, I remember that day well. I was young, but that's the first memory I have of my Dad crying like he did.
