Bobcats, belly buttons, and boy scouts

After the entire Bullis family slept until 9:30 on Saturday morning and marking lots of things at home off the "to do" list, we were happy to get ourselves out the door and head downtown (or uptown- we're not really sure of the difference). We were going to see the Bobcats...and more importantly Parker was participating in the flag ceremony before the game with the boy scouts. 

After we figured out where we were supposed to be, all the boy scouts were whisked away to the bottom floor to their very important duties, we just had to wait.

We watched and observed...met some cheerleaders...thought about what we wanted to eat...as usual Tinley made some friends and we wondered what Parker was doing.

Finally we spotted our boys. Our specific boy was kind of hard to see but we saw him squished between some others. I took some pictures on the jumbotron and Parker has been happy to tell people he was on "tv".

Here are some pictures from our view.

Some other people who went down below sent us these pictures. Very cool.

They all said the flag was very heavy. One of the leaders took this as they were carrying the flag and you see little Parker's head trying not to drown in the big flag. Serious business.

When they were done, they got to ride up the giant elevator (another cool point remembered by Parker).

We were then able to move on to some really important things like finally getting that cotton candy. 

We finally made it to our very high seats and we were serious about cheering on the Bobcats. 

Well, Tinley was very serious about cheering on the cheerleaders....which she nicknamed the belly button cheerleaders. I think it made a real impression that their belly buttons were showing and they weren't even in their bathing suits.

All in all, a fun evening, a new experience, and some new Bobcat fans.  

Today we  got out to see some of that sunshine!! I hear it's not going to stay around all week so out we went. 

I told Tinley to do her cheerleading pose thinking she would do a jump or something. No. Straight for the belly button. I think I'm going to be finding some cheerleaders with their bellies covered.

Parker asked if Daddy could come to the park because he's so fun.  What does Daddy possibly do so much better than me?

 Because Parker said...Daddy throws stuff at us. There is just something special about Dads:) I will remember this next time the kids seem bored at the park!
