This past Saturday evening, we took Frankie to his first DC United game. We rode the metro in, figuring Frankie would get a kick out of riding on the "choo choo train" - which he did. "Anoth train!" he would shout as we passed other trains and "train station!" when we'd stop.
Right before the game started, Talon, the Eagle mascot, came around for pictures. Score! I figured I'd get a great pic of Frankie and the mascot. Not so much. He liked Talon from afar but was terrified of the oversized bird up close. He wanted to go "upstairs" (into the concession area) after the traumatic experience. Thankfully when Daddy & Frankie came back, he regrouped and was into the game. "In the air!" "He fall down!" His screaming had other fans turning around. I think they were getting a kick out of him. (That's what every parent thinks, right? When actually the person is annoyed as heck at their kid.) Since it was a night game and we knew we had the metro ride home, we only stayed until half time rather than press our luck through the whole game and the crowd at the end. All-in-all - It was a great evening! (Not to mention great next morning - Frankie slept until after 8am!)
