First Sharks Game

So as many of you know, both the Froese and the Faulconer families are HUGE Sharks fans. In turn, Makenna will be also...she will not have a choice. On Tuesday Makenna went to her very first San Jose Sharks game. We had amazing seats. Top level, first row, right near the exit. The arena staff gave us ear plugs for her little ears. In our excitement of bringing her along, we kind of forgot that extremely loud sound is not the best thing for her hearing. Bad parents. They had a tough time staying in place but they helped block some of the sound. Makenna fell asleep for half of the first period. She woke up with one of the really loud cheers from the crowd. She then had fun watching the Jumbotron until 7 minutes left in the second period. I was nervous about breastfeeding in the freezing cold, super loud arena, so you can only imagine my relief when they guided us to the First Aid center. We were able to use a private room in the center. It was quiet, warm, and convenient. We returned just in time for the third period. She began to get a little tired about half through and fell asleep. She even slept through the Sharks goal. I covered her ear with my hand to add to the sound barrier. Overall, she did great. Thankfully I was near the exit and I could get up and down with her easily whenever needed. No one was bothered by my interruptions. The game was kind of boring. No scoring until the last few minutes of the game. It went into overtime and the Sharks came out on top. I think she really enjoyed the game. Drew was really proud. Go Sharks!
