Patriots game with JimJim

Thanks to Umple Eddie we went to see the Pats again. As soon as James got home from school we got in the car and headed on down the highway. We decided that we would get McDonalds and tailgate with McDonalds instead of grilling. Jimmy only wanted his french fries (and chicken nuggets of course).
Once in the parking lot we got the football out and started throwing it around. Same thing as last year, the cars started surrounding us and making the parking lot field smaller.
There were people around doing drinking games where there were a bunch of cups on a table and they were throwing ping pong balls from across the table. If the ball went into the cup, the opposing side would have to drink what was in the cup. Jimmy was cheering on the game and giving me play by play on it.
Last year after the game we had got lost finding our way back to our car. Apparently, that trip back to the car was a hit with him because he asked me the whole night if we could get lost like we did last year going back to the car, traveling by the tunnel. If I remember correctly, it wasnt as much fun for me to get lost looking for the car.

Umple Ed has great seats right off the field in the end zone. It didnt take long for us to be up and down a couple of times. Jimmy had a twenty dollar bill burning a hole in his pocket so he couldnt wait to spend it. When we went up in the concourse level there were seats in the first row of the chair level. I believe it is the wheelchair level and if there are no wheelchairs the seats are awesome. So from here we sat the whole game making it easy for the multiple trips up to the concessions and bathrooms.




We didnt get lost going back to the car either....welllll, we didnt get that lost. Jimmy had a great time the whole game. Every time the music came on he was dancing away. I think he was hoping he'd get on the jumbotron again. Either way he was grooving it up
