Blackhawks Win!!!

Oh the Blackhawks! It was so fun being here in Chicago when the Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup!! This city loves their sports teams and it was crazy here. Jarod also scored and got to go to a few games this year including a play-off game.
As soon as we watched them win and after Jarod was done jumping up and down and yelling he looked at me and said we have to go to the parade. Unfortunately the parade was on Friday and Jarod had a meeting he couldn't get out of but Jim, Mary and Collin flew in on Thursday night so we took Grandpa J and Collin with us.

It had rained the entire day before and it was really hot and muggy especially when you got as close as we had to get to other people so we stayed in the shade under the El train and waited for the parade to start.


I ended up being a few feet behind Jim and Collin who had Jacoby so I could stand on the curb and actually see something.



Jacoby was less interested in the parade and more interested in keeping an eye on me the entire time and sucking on his fingers, which he never does but he was teething!


When the parade started, everyone was yelling and singing the Blackhawks song. I thought he might be a little scared but he just clapped and danced right along with everyone else.

Patrick Kane holding up the Stanley Cup- we got this close to it only to find out later that it was across the street from my house later that night. It was crazy down there with 3 million fans but I am so glad that we were there so Jacoby can always say that he was. That is a huge deal to his Daddy.
