KP attended his first pro football game

Yesterday, Dec 11, Margot took KP to Bengal stadium to see the Bengals & Texans (Houston) play. She won 2 tickets from the RMH. They bundled up and headed for the stadium (Stephen & Frances drove them.). He didn't try to run ahead... held hands until they made the long trek to their seats.

KP had a WONDERFUL time. He met Bengal Santa Clause..but refused to let Margot take a photo. He loved standing up & cheering and waving his giant Bengal tiger paw. Most of all he loved eating cotton candy & throwing peanut shells on the ground after he cracked them open. He lasted to the beginning of the 4th quarter... then the sun moved and they were sitting in the shade... and he ran out of food.

He told Margot he was cold & wanted "inside, inside.."... then he ate a hotdog.. then wanted to leave. A very good day. Stephen & Frances drove them home. Then they said good bye... had a nice trip visitin KP.

On Dec 10, we started out late because the "therapy dogs were coming at 1pm. KP kept asking us if it was 1pm yet... but when they arrived, he didn't want to pet them, just look.. from this angle & that, from upstair, around the corner, etc. Finally, he sat down to brush a huge Newfoundland named Jake... then he was off. Afterwards we to the Fireman's museum where he sat in a fire truck, blew the horn, turned on the sirens, made the lights go on, etc... it was a trick to get him to leave.

Then we ran some errands... not too much fun for the little guy. We discovered Jungle Jim's market. It's a warehouse sized store with items from around the world.. kind of like Cost Plus World Market's food section on steroids. Definitely a destination. I could have spent half a day exploring. KP was happy because he rode in a "car" shopping cart & got a truck filled with toosie rolls.
