Gear for cheering

We had plenty of gear to cheer on the Pirates at last night's playoff game.

We made a sign...
 

I blew up the 'Bam Bams' we were given at the game's entrance gate and figured out how to maximize the noise factor (you have to hit them together when they are parallel to each other). And as if you couldn't have guessed, there wasn't a kid in the place who wasn't hitting each other in the head with them, mine included.





But even with the crowd's enthusiam during a really exciting game, the Pirates lost in OT. The kids thought since they left grandpa at home, the team would win.

"We have to go to the next game to cheer for the team!" said L. "And next time we're making a sign for Kenny Smith too." said G (she brought along her card to the game).

And I was yet again amazed at the kids' observation skills. It's why I think they're so good at geocaching. After two minutes of sitting in our seats they spotted a lobster on the ceiling.
