Our Spring Break is off to a great start! My parents came to visit for a couple of days and we have been gradually winding down after a busy month of school and sports activities. For a special treat Scott found some LA Galaxy (soccer team) tickets online and surprised the kids for our first spring break outing. Troy has been wanting to attend a game for a long time. On Saturday we loaded up the minivan and made our way over the busy Southern California freeways to Home Depot Stadium. We had a great time experiencing our first professional soccer game. Unfortunately we had a major downpour during the game, but because we bought the cheap seats we were way up high under the awnings! Always up for famous athlete sightings, we enjoyed watching Beckham play for the first half and also the new star, Robbie Keane. Unfortunately our Redlands hometown boy, Landon Donovan, was not playing in this game. The kids were quite entertained by the loud British guy behind us shouting obscenities when things did not go his way and also the fan club a.k.a. "crazy people" in the area behind the goal chanting and jumping the whole game. We're definitely fans... Go Galaxy!
Waiting to get in the gates. Scott's deal got us all bright green Robbie Keano t-shirts.
Getting close to the famous trophy. (Scott was pretty excited about this.)
Before the game. By start this was packed full.

These fans behind the goal are literally crazy. They chant, jump and holler the whole game.
By the end, we were pretty cold and tired. :)
