Mexico vs. Senegal

Monday night after Mother's Day, Jarod and I took Jacoby to the Mexico vs. Senegal soccer game at Soldier Field. Wrigley is a huge sponsor so we got free tickets. Joe and Annie came with us and we had the best time.

It was fun to watch the game and know that this was one of their last games before the World Cup.


Jacoby loved watching the game and the people. It was like a home game for the Mexican team and I think I counted 3 other white people other than our group the whole time I was there. It was broad casted in Spanish and was a great cultural experience for Jacoby. The fans kept singing "Ole, ole, ole" and pretty soon Jacoby caught on and started singing with them. Now if you ask him what they say at the Mexican soccer game he starts dancing and singing "Ole, ole, ole!". It's so stinkin cute!



Pointing at the ball. I couldn't believe how good he was just watching the game but I think we may have a soccer fan on our hands.


Jacoby participated in his first wave at Soldier Field!! He thought it was so cool and wanted to do it again and again!
We ended up leaving a little early because it was way past Jacoby's bed time and mine if I am being honest.


When we walked out to our car in the lot our car was blocked in by a car parked in front of the one entrance/exit. So frustrating! We called a tow truck company and Jacoby, Annie and I jumped in a cab and headed home while Joe and Jarod waited for the tow truck. The guy showed up and said there was nothing that he could do but leave it Joe and Jarod to convince him and pay him $20 to move the car just far enough to get ours out and then put it back. Thank goodness!! We won't park in that lot again!
