Dirtbike girl!

Areacross at the Nutter Center
Matt & I went on our first, of twelve dates this year. We've decided to do one date a month and take turns planning them. Tonights date was planned by Matt. We took Parker & Riley with us too! We took the girls to the Nutter Center to watch Arenacross. We took them last year too, but this year was much more fun. Parker had a blast.

We asked her what her favorite part was and she said, "when that big big guy waved at me". The story behind this was that 3 guys were doing tricks on the dirtbikes. She had been waiting for them to do tricks the whole night. One guy did a flip with the bike and then circled around the track waving at people to get them excited and on their feet. Unbeknownst to Parker, he was waving to everyone. She believed that he was waving at HER! It was so cute. She turned around and said, "Mom, that guy just waved at me two times!"

Some of the racers were introduced at the beginning of the show when the lights were off. One of the riders came by us. (We had aisle seats) His name was Shane Slemmel (I think). He didn't do anything extraordinary. Just neat that he came right by us.

Matt's favorite part of the night was when Miss Areacross came right beside him. The camera was filming and Parker was on the Jumbo screen just a waving and waving. All the while, her dad was checking out the rear of Miss Areacross. It was funny!

Overall, our first date went great. We got there early, didn't have to wait long when we left, and didn't have to mess with bad weather.
