Arlo's first Football Game

Arlo took in his first football game this past Saturday at Lansdown Stadium. His Daddy's team, the Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks were in town to take on the University of Ottawa Gee Gees in a semi final game for the Yates Cup. Arlo loved all of the action in the stands, the cheering and chanting, and the roar of the crowd during the big plays. The players running up and down the field really caught Arlo's eye, and he watched them gong back and forth. As the game went on and things were more and more exciting he really enjoyed being hoisted up high in the air when his Daddy was cheering. It was a cold crisp day, just perfect for football if you are wrapped up in your brand new Columbia snowsuit and a warm hat. He giggled and laughed the whole day. As the game was winding to its end Laurier saw its lead, which it had held since the start of the game, slip away. Ottawa had the better record for the year, but Laurier had been on a streak for the past few games. Ottawa won with a field goal in the last few minutes, but it was a great day out for Arlo and his parents. He'll be back to see Laurier get revenge when they play the next time. I guess, since his mom and dad met as U of Ottawa students, this was a win win game for Arlo.
