Kauai: Day 8

Today Jason, my dad, Dan, and I were off to Oahu for the Pro Bowl. Maddy must have known that she was going to be without mom and dad today, because she woke up at 5:30 am and didn't want to go back to sleep. Jason and I were actually okay with it because we got to play with her for an hour before we had to leave for the airport.

We flew into Honolulu and then took a bus to the Aloha Stadium in Pearl City, Oahu. We got to the stadium a few hours before the gates even opened so we walked around the parking lot and went to the free tail gate to look around and buy t-shirts. We tried to go in as soon as the gates opened, however, Jason and I had a problem because we accidentally had our video camera in our bag and they were prohibited. So we had to go to security and check it in. Needless to say the extra time it took us to get through security caused us to miss the NFC players entering the field right by our seats with their street clothes on. What a bummer.

The game was a lot of fun. The AFC won 31-29 though. It was really hot in the stadium and the sun was on us the entire game. Dan actually ended up with heat stroke he thinks. It started to rain just as we were leaving the game and getting on the bus. It was neat because there was a bright rainbow behind the stadium.

I was really missing Maddy, so I was happy when we were able to jump on a flight back to Kauai an hour early. I think I missed Maddy more than she missed me. She apparently had a great day with Grandma and Wendy. I think they spoiled her a bit. She was happy to see mom and dad though at the end of the day.
