More Arena Football!!!

We were able to attend the last home game for the season for the Blaze. We also let the boys invite a friend, and so we introduced 2 new boys to the whole arena football scene. I think they may be hooked.

Above is Shawn, Taylor, Ethan, and Kelton. All 4 of them are allergic to camera's but were so into the game. It was so exciting to see them so excited and yelling at the team.

This is the car that they gave away during half time. I entered for a chance to win this Nissan Versa along with 20,000 other people. Some hopefully sweet lady from Ogden won. Congratulations to the winner!!

I love this blimp! I never get anything from it but it's fun to see it fly around the stadium and see how crazy people get when it flies overhead.

This is just after the intense ending of the game and both teams are just finishing congratulating each other. I show this picture to make the point that white spandex should be banned from all forms of football. We all know how big those line backers are and they really aren't much bigger than me and I even know not to wear white spandex. I don't even think spanx would help the situation :)

At the beginning of the game there was an announcement that someone had died on Friday. I missed the name and I'm not sure of all the players in the AFL. I have never seen this before after any football game. This game was dedicated to the person who lost their life and then all the players knelled after the game and bowed their heads. I was very impressed with how they came together. I do know that many of the players are religious and attend one of the local Christian church's here in the Salt Lake Valley when they are in town. Not that it is the breaking point on if I would like the team, but it showed when they came together to show respect for one of their own.

The game was intense, our new inductees to this world of football were glued to the game, I was impressed by all the players (especially when they were getting really tough and helmets were flying). We had so much fun and I'm so glad we could let the boys take friends. It helped make the night that much more memorable for them.
