Shantel surprised her dad for his birthday with tickets to the Utah Warriors rugby game. Scott loves rugby and it was great because we were able to get tickets for everyone who lives in the state. It was really fun and the kids had fun as well.
Blog takeover from Shantel: I found a coupon code for really really really cheap tickets for the last Rugby game of the season and so I bought them without even asking anyone if they would be able to come. Then I sent out a text to my family telling them to save the date for June 1st, without telling them what for. I figured that those who could come, would come, and if they couldn't - then hopefully at least my dad would be able to come! It was awesome because both Melissa and Blake AND Jacob were able to make it, and even my mom was able to come, too. I've never seen a Rugby game before and it was really interesting and fun!
The kids did a great job of sitting and watching (and eating candy and playing with Melissa and Blake) but toward the end when they started to get restless my dad got up with them and walked with each of them individually around the field, telling them about what was going on, etc.. One of the times he ended up coming back with a big snowcone for the kids to share. (He's a softie.)
I'm grateful for my dad and all the things that he does for me and for my family and I'm so glad that we got to celebrate him and his birthday by going to this Rugby game together. I love spending time with my family - and I love how they always come together to support and show love, too.
Go Warriors!
