BECKHAM COMES TO EDMONTON, NO, NOT KIDDING



So..... Last night Claire and I had a girls night out. We went into the City to see David Beckham and the rest of the LA Galaxy play soccer. HOW AWESOME IS THAT !!!! I kept trying to impress on Claire how awesome this was and how it was, most likely, a once in a lifetime experience, but I don't think she gets it. On the way home she kept asking if we could check the website to see when they were coming next (sigh).

Traffic was crazy going in so Claire had time for a nap. Don't know how her neck doesn't snap off when she sleeps like this.



We had a great time and David played 72 minutes, kind of. I have come to the conclusion that he is grossly overpaid. He gets to kick all the free balls (everyone cheers when he does this) and because he is a Middle player, the rest of the time he just sort of hangs out on the edges of the middle and if the ball comes close to him, then he kicks it, or tries to kick it. They don't want him to get hurt so, they don't let him do too much. After all, he is 33. Old, right Steph? His birthday is May 2, so he is sort of your kindred spirit!


Opening Ceremonies


David is No. 23

Claire and I at the game




We only got a little bit wet, so not too bad and we had a polish sausage and diet coke for supper and Twizzlers for dessert. Claire got to bring home a poster (stood in line for 40 minutes, btw) and it is hanging up on her closet door and everyone in her ENTIRE class wanted to go, but she thinks that she was the only one that went. Very happy girl. It was good to see her having a good time.



Goodbye David, until we meet again!

I am totally jealous of you tow, more for the dinner menu than the soccer though. I had a Corey Hart poster at the end of my bed, what did you have? I LOVE THE END PICTURE.
