Football Decision (still up in the air)

Sam has still not decided which soccer team to be a fan of. We've been to two Arsenal games and we get to sit on the Club Level in the firm seats. We straddle the half way line and get free sodas! Woo hoo! We're definitely Arsenal fans when we're there (sorry Rich). It's hard not to get into the spirit when the passion is all around you. The kids and I went into the city last sunday to see the production of "Lion King". It was fantastic! It was very fun for me to watch the reactions and emotions on the kids faces as they were entertained. The sets, costumes, music, and sound effects was awesome. After the show we walked back to the train station across Waterloo Bridge singing "I Just Can't Wait to be King" in the rain. It has a fantastic view of all the famous London sights. The kids are so comfortable in their surroundings. They know how to find the train we need to get home and how to get tickets and navigate the underground. It's very cool to watch. On the way home we had a group of rowdy Chelsea fans by us on the train. They were having a great time singing and clapping. The kids loved it. Some one said that they should quiet down and they teased Sam that he was an undercover cop. They started pointing at him and singing "you're a Billy in disguise". One sat down and chatted with us about where we were from and why in the world we would choose to move here from there. They taught us some "Blues" (Chelsea) songs and gave us some laughs. Sam is now thinking of cheering for Chelsea. It doesn't take much to influence him. It was great fun for the ending of a great day.
