Real Salt Lake!

At the end of April we went up to Salt Lake for my Grandma Millie's 80th birthday, so we decided since we would be driving the gas hog Tahoe and we weren't going to have any chances for a vacation while building our house, we'd make a trip of it!  On the way up we went to the Tulip Festival at Thanksgiving Point (pics to come), we went to a Real Salt Lake game, visited with friends, went to City Creek for some shopping and lets not forget the whole reason we came, partied with Grandma!  I haven't been able to find the other pictures, so we'll start with the soccer game.  I'm not usually a huge spectator sports kinda gal, but this game was SUPER fun!  First of all, Ronnie's cousins and uncle sang the Canadian AND American national anthem (apparently they usually choose a different group for each anthem) and they were incredible!  Gotta love those LeBaron vocal chords!  The atmosphere itself was just electric the whole game and the crowd was really involved with songs and cheers.  There was even a volunteer pep band!  Chloe absolutely LOVED the game (Avery was a champ too...she was happy the whole time)!  Ronnie taught her the rules and helped her follow the ball....she was totally hooked!  She kept yelling at the players "Get the ball!  Kick the ball!" or "He got it!!!" or "Go Real!!!".  It was so stinkin' cute and Ronnie couldn't be more proud, being a soccer player back in the day himself.  We got to hang with my sister, Ronnie's cousins and I got to catch up with some old friends!  After the game we went out for yogurt with my friends, which is a lot harder (but still fun) when you have kids to wrangle (especially when Avery was teething...)!  So there's part one of our trip!  More to come!
