AR's First Blues Game-LGB!!!

So I guess you could say I kind of have this internal bucket list in my head of things I want AR to do, try, visit, etc... Ever since the STL Blues did so well in the playoffs last spring, AR has been slightly interested in the Blues... while having no idea whatsover they do or what's going on. I decided I wanted to take her to a game this year and it's been on my to-do list for the last two months. I've searched ticket prices, checked dates, and seriously only like one game in March fit our schedule. I'd at least narrowed it down to a date but I hadn't bought tickets yet. Monday night, my co-worker Holly texted me and said Bob had tickets to the game on Tuesday and wanted to know if AR and I wanted to go. I'd been avoiding going on Tuesday nights because AR has gymnastics but when a Blues legend is offering tickets, I knew I couldn't pass.

We got to the game late thanks to traffic but when we found our seats, they were awesome!!! AR seriously just stood for the first 10 minute mesmerized by the fast pace. Every now and then, she'd look at me and yell, "Mommy, I saw the little round black thing!!!" She also picked up on the horn/Let's Go Blues cheer pretty quickly as well.

This was the view from our seats, not too bad, huh?

I'd bought her a short-sleeve Blues tutu dress for Christmas, it only cost $10 from Kohl's. The girl hasn't stopped wearing it so of course she had to wear it to the game. And the Blues sweater she's wearing? Got it from a store going out of business for $10, too!

In between the 1st and 2nd period, Mr. Bob came to visit us. Mr. Bob is Blues legend Bobby Plager, who played for them in the late '60s. Holly met him last year and became buddies with him. I've met him a handful of times and he's a great guy and I should mention totally hilarious! Thank you so much for the seats, Mr. Bob, AR's first Blues game was totally magical thanks to you!

He even signed her sweater and put a smiley face in the P so AR thought that was awesome.

The night was going great... until the other team scored and AR was not happy. She also wasn't a fan of the loud horn but otherwise, she loved it!

When Mr. Bob came to our seats, he was like Santa and brought us three bags of giveaways. Our Blues apparel doubled!!! AR was most excited about the pucks and thought Mr. Bob looked handsome in his picture from back when he played.

The pucks were even signed by Ryan Reaves! Overall, we had a great experience and were completely spoiled thanks to Bob. A huge shout out and thank you to Bob and Holly for thinking of AR and me! LGB!!!
