Go Panthers!

This past weekend we took the girls to their first Panther's game.  It happened to also be the first Panther's game that I had been too since I was pregnant with Randal Jean...my how things have changed :) 

We "tailgated"/pre-gamed (can you pre-game with kids?) at Kirk's apartment in downtown Charlotte then headed out to the game just as it started to rain.  It rained the whole walk there and while we waited to have the diaper bag searched but it stopped when it was time for the game.  Tilley got a bit antsy soon after the game started so I took her out of the baby bjorn and she ended up sleeping through the second quarter.  All the while Randal Jean was clapping and doing the Panther growl.  Just before halftime it started to rain again so I took shelter with Tilley and headed back once it was time for the 3rd quarter.  Both girls were fantastic for the last half of the game.  On the walk back to Kirk's apartment Randal Jean fell asleep in Matt's arms...so glad he was carrying her.  Once we made it back to Kirk's I fed Tilley and we got on the road around 6 to arrive back in Wilmington just after 10.  Tilley slept the whole way and after watching The Wizard of Oz 1 1/2 times Randal Jean finally fell asleep too.  Both girls transferred easily to their crib/bed....I think we can say the day was a success!!!

 Classic Randal Jean....

Julie and some of the other people that were also at Kirk's before the game...the child-less crew thankfully didn't seem to mind that two babies crashed the party

Matt's genius idea to give her a red Italian ice while wearing gray....
