Timbers

Baba treated his boys to a Timbers soccer game. It was quite the adventure...a max ride, sitting very close to the (super loud and smelly) Timbers Army (the fan club) and a sicky little guy at the end. Aside from Matt Matt not feeling well, it was a fun time. I loved seeing the awe on their faces as they watched the Timbers on the field, the fan club singing and cheering and when Timber Joey brought over a slice of 'goal log' he'd chainsawed off and let the kiddos touch it. If only we could rewind and make sure Matthew didn't get sick at the end of the night, it would have been a perfect outing.

Buying Max tickets - Andrew is checking out the downtown crazies (he spent a good amount of time staring at interesting people...I saw prostitutes, legless homeless guys in wheelchairs, a homeless guy with a cat riding on his backpack, a guy passionately yelling about legalizing marijuana...it was very entertaining, to say the least. Andrew seemed to think so also!)

Goal!

This is the stinky part of the army - every time they score a goal, HUGE smoke bombs are set off - it chokes you! Did I mention how LOUD they are? Ear plugs next time.

Baba took the time to explain things to all of us...even if it meant missing parts of the game.

Andrew was so precious, so helpful and awesome...Baba rode Max back to the car and we waited at Pioneer Courthouse Square (since Matthew wasn't feeling well)...and Andrew just sat quietly and relaxed as I held onto Matthew. If I could have ten more Andrews, I wouldn't hesitate for a second. He is so amazing.
