Rick and Matthew had a special date today. They attended Hannover's 96 fussball (soccer) game. In Germany, soccer is a whole new ball game compared to the states. One way is the mere chanting is louder, two, is the singing. The team had a song that all the fans sang. And this song wasn't a rock-n-roll song is was more like a love ballad. Now imagine thousands of boys/men singing this song, in tune, at the top of their lungs. Rick was speechless.
Matthew's special date with his dad is told in a series of photos.
As you can see he was pretty excited about riding the bus and the train.
The "scarf" around his neck was what the fans held up as they chanted and sang.
Rick and Matthew both started the day wearing BYU colors. Anytime Rick goes to a sporting event he naturally wears blue and white. However, when he showed up to the stadium he noticed the opposite team's colors were blue and white. Needless to say, two 96 jersys were purchased.
The trip ended with a stop at the toy store to get presents for the ladies back at home. I got a dragon. Chrissie got a pegasus horse. Jane a cow. And Matthew got a knight (another one). All presents thoughtfully picked out by Matthew.
