Run for it!

One of my proudest moments as a mom happened on Saturday night. We went to the REAL soccer game (the professional soccer team in Salt Lake). We scored some free tickets from some awesome friends (thanks Cannata's). They were super great front row tickets. We went with our friends the Krauses (major soccer lovers) and had a ton of fun.

After the game there was a mini-concert from David Archuleta. Now, the Krauses don't watch TV so they didn't know who he was, but we American Idol lovers were pretty excited to see him. They started setting up the stage on half field and then the security guys started walking out to make sure there were no "jumpers/runners" to the field. Some people had special writstbands and got to go on. Emily and Mattison were trying to talk the security guy by us to let them sneak on out since we were right there. Of course he said "no". But, part way through the concert those cute girls jumped the wall and took off running past security and made it all the way across the field up to the 2nd row of the stage. It was so cool! We were cheering and yelling as were several rows of people behind us. They started a little trend and some other girls tried jumping. Then security got a little tighter. The funny thing is after the girls made it that far, they came running back a little later. Of course we were like "don't come back!". They felt bad because Isabel didn't come. Isabel still didn't want to go and then they thought...we'll head back again. So of course another security guy stopped them, but Emily sweet talked her way right back to the stage. FREAKING AWESOME!

I was there, too. And I was laughing so hard at all the girls running past security to get closer to the stage. But the best part was after he finished his last song when tons of hundreds of people started running to the stage. The security guys just put their hands in the air, not knowing how to stop them all. It was great! :)

That is so awesome! Free tickets to a soccer game, getting to listen to David Archeleta, and screaming all the way on stage. Could it get better than that!
