Football time with Dad!

Parker went to the Aztecs game on Saturday night with Pete, Grandpa Bob and Calvin. We were really unsure how it would go. I was fully prepared to drive down there to retrieve him in case he wasn't lasting. But lo and behold, he had a fantastic time! He was enthralled by it all. Here are the boys ready to go. Go Aztecs! (San Diego State). 

 And here they are at the game. Parker put on his red shirt and said, "I look handsome."

Parker did a great job at the game. He loved having his own little lemonade and chips (he passed on the hot dog). When the Aztec mascot came out on the field with his flaming spear, Parker got VERY frightened... so much so that he actually pooped his pants. Not joking. Once he stopped shaking, he kept saying, "I don't like the Aztecs." He did like the other mascot which was a Spartan, but Parker thought he looked like a Cowboy. Parker also loved having his cousin Calvin there with him. All the way home he kept asking Calvin, "Which  mascot did you like?" He also enjoyed seeing his Uncle Ryan and Chloe at the game.

His vocabulary is quite amazing these days. He says things like, "I'm shivering," "Is that a type of dog?", "Austin will choke on that," "My name is Parker Dahlquist," "I need a spatula to cook with," and "That's a beautiful song, Lexey." He is so polite and well spoken. We love hearing the things he has to say. It's amazing to see the world through a child's eyes.
