A "suite" Sounders match

The past several weeks we have been fundraising for childhood cancer research at Qwest Field. A couple of weekends ago it was our turn to work. The plan was for my mom, sister and me to work while Papa watched Addi. (Click here if you'd like to donate.) Then, when my friend invited me to the Sounders match, our plans changed! My mom, sister and dad worked while I got to take Addi and Baby B to the match. Addi was such a good girl good all.day.long!

The day started with a trip to the Pro Shop for some gear. Addi got a Sounders hoodie (with thumb holes), a jersey and a foam finger. We, of course, could not forget about Baby B, who got a special Sounders scarf. Then, it was off to buy some kettle corn, a visit to see the Seattle Fallen Firefighters Memorial, a visit to the grocery store for gum and more snacks/treats (btw, do you know how hard it is to find a store with gum in Pioneer Square on a Saturday?) and then back to Qwest Field for pre-game festivities. We had fun watching many fans participate in the March to the Match and even hung around to see the Sounders band play.

Now that Addi has been to a match and "gets" the idea of wearing a jersey or sporting a scarf, I can't wait to take her back. Although, the next time she's going to be expecting a suite. She asked me the other night while a soccer match was on TV, if they were playing at the same place that we went to. When explained to Addi that the soccer game on TV was at another stadium, she asked, "Do you think that stadium has suites too?" Uh oh, what have I done?!?
