See the Bombers fly Up Up.....

Go Bombers!!!

We watched Essendon take the Eagles down from the Medallion Club at Telstra Dome last night. It was the first time the kids have seen a live game of football. What a great first game for them to see. It was very exciting watching Essendon play a great game of football. Although, I'm not sure the kids would say the same. Bailey was bored and went a bit ferel jumping on and kicking seats. We soon stopped that. Then I watched him staring at the roof, I think he was counting the lights. Micayla just wanted to wave the flag and we had to let her know when Essendon got a goal, cause she wasn't watching the inbetween bits, but she was booing when The Eagles were kicking for goal. If she heard a roar from us and the crowd, she'd ask if Essendon got a goal, but it was some mid field excitement. Especially when Matthew Lloyd took an awesome mark right in front of goal.


It looks empty all around us but that's cause we were there a bit earlier. It soon filled up all around us.

Check out Bailey's little flag to Micayla's. That was all that he wanted. When we got to the car park all he had in his hand was the stick. He'd lost the flag part somewhere on the stairs on the way down to the car. We were in the car park when he realised and was bawling his little eyes out. Thankfully for another nice Essendon supporter, he'd found it and gave it back to Bailey.

When the game was over we sang and danced to the Essendon theme song. And of course we had to do the traditional hang the scarf out the car window all the way home.

Here are some photos of the on field action.



I've woken up this morning with a sore throat and Micayla hasn't taken off her Essendon scarf.
