マディソンの初めてのセルティックスゲーム!/Madison's 1st Celtics Game! and more!

今日はとっても忙しいでも楽しい土曜日でした：）まず朝起きて直ぐ教会の友達のブライアンとダニエルのマラソンの応援に行きました。今日ブラインは５キロマラソンをダッシュする事になっていたんです。なぜかと言うと、この夏にある160キロマラソンに挑戦するんだけど、その準備として今のトレーニングが５キロマラソンをなるべく早く走らなければいけないらしい...そしてダニエルは私とデイヴが来年挑戦したいと思っているリバーストライアスロンに挑戦です。それは５キロマラソンと１２キロ自転車と２００m水泳の競技。残念ながら車の渋滞でブライアンが２等賞を取ったのは見れなかったんだけど、ダニエルのレースは応援バッチリ：）このマラソン大会は空軍基地で行われたんだけど、いっぱい止まっている飛行機とか好きなだけ走り回れる空間をマディソン気に入るかなーと思っていたら、パパにくっ付きっぱなし!せっかくの週末でパパと一日中居られるから甘えてたのかも...：）
Today was one fun filled Saturday for us:-) Our Saturday started off with me mentioning to Dave that we need to go cheer two of our friends from church, Brian and Daniel, with their "Race on the Base." Brian was planning to sprint the 5K as he prepares for a 100Mile race later this summer and his brother Daniel was participating in the reverse mini-triathlon that Dave and I would like to try next year. It is a 5K run, 12 mile bike and 4 lap swim. It took Daniel about an hour to complete which put him in the top 20 of probably 200 or more competitors. It was fun to see them compete (although we missed Brian's race where he got 2nd due to traffic getting on to the army base). We thought Madison would enjoy all the military planes that are parked around and the big open space that she can run around in, but all she did was either cling to Daddy or sit in her bugaboo... I guess she is trying to savor the precious time she has with Daddy on the weekends...:-)

とっても良いスタートを切ったダニエルだけど、こんなに強風の中で走るなんて信じられる？その上自転車レースなんてもっと最悪！次の日、ダニエルとブライアンは日に焼けたのかと思ったら風焼けをしていた！
Daniel had a great start and can you imagine racing in this wind!? It was sooo windy that both Daniel and Brian had "Wind Burn" on their faces the next day!

すっかり、応援し損ねてしまった...
Yeah, my bad...


水泳は他の競技と違ってあっという間に居なくなっちゃわないから見てておもしろかった；）
Swim part was really fun to watch because he won't kamikaze pass you like before;-)
Although he did pass about five people...






最初は大勢過ぎ!?見たいな顔をしていたマディソンだけど、ケイラにハイファイブのお手本を見せてもらって自分でも試したくなったみたい!
Madison is warming up to so many people running by her... Kayla showed her how to high five the runners and she really got into it!

マラソンの後家に帰ってマディソンとパパが長〜いお昼寝をしている間私はジュリー＆ジュリアを見る事ができました：）そして、ダウンタウンLAにあるステイプルズセンターにセルティックスゲ−ムを観戦しに出発進行！思っていた以上にすごいゲーム...相手のチームは若いプレーヤーがたくさんいるから面白い事してくれるし、ブレークグリフィンって言うすごいルーキーがいるんです。何回か凄いダンクをされちゃったけど最後に勝てれば全然オッケー：）そしてとてもビックリしたのはセルティックスのファンが思っていた以上に居た事です。私達が座っていた辺りはほとんんどが緑色！横に居た酔っぱらいのお兄ちゃんに家族写真を撮ってもらったりマディソンはフィストバンプを教えてもらっちゃったり、まあセルティックスファンだからいっか〜：）最後の５分を残して寝てしまったマディソン、セルティックスの勝利が決まって安心したのかな、とっても可愛かったんだけど写真撮るのすっかり忘れてました！このゲームはクライン家の伝統行事の一つに決定です！！
After the races it was noon and Madison and Daddy took lengthy naps and I got to watch Julie & Julia on Netflix:-) Then we headed out to Downtown L.A. and the Staples Center for the Celtics vs Clippers game. It had everything we could have hoped for in a game. Blake Griffin made some awesome dunks and the Celtics came back and won!! It was unbelievable how many Celtics fans were there. The whole upper row that we were in was all Celtics fans. The people next to us (who had had a few brewskis) thought Madison was pretty cute and even taught her how to "Fist Bump" and took a family picture for us, Madison did such an awesome job! She sat on Daddy's lap the whole time and seemed to really enjoy the game. She fell asleep once the Celtics had wrapped it up with just about five minutes to go in the game...she was super cute!!! Just like everything else we seem to do, we are totally making the Celtics/Clippers game our annual tradition!!

家を出発する前にどうせゲ−ムでいつも忘れちゃうからと家族写真を撮ったんだけど...これはちょっと失敗...はなほじっている女の子と宇宙犬...：）
Before we headed out I suggested we take a nice family picture since we usually forget to ask someone to take one at the game... Well this one didn't go so well... A nose picking girl and an alien dog...:-)
上手く撮れた！エリーを呼んだんだけど宇宙犬って書いたの読まれたかな...
Better! We wanted Ellie to come back up but apparently we hurt her feelings...
入場まで１０分ぐらい外で待たなきゃいけなかったんだけど、沢山の緑に囲まれてホームゲ−ムに来ているみたい...：）
We had to stand outside for about 10 minutes but we were surrounded by tons and tons of Celtics fans and we felt right at home...:-)
マックに行かなくなってここ７ヶ月でもパパのせいで記録更新ならず...
Daddy broke our record of not eating McDonald's tonight... 7 months... We were doing soooo good:-(


座席からの様子！
The view from the top!
最初はお隣さん達を完全無視していたマディソンだけど最後の方で心を開き最後にはフィストバンプ友達にまでなっちゃいました...：）
At first Madison wanted nothing to do with our neighbors, but warmed up towards the end of the game and they became fist bump buddies...:-)

これ綺麗に撮れてるでしょ！酔っぱらいとエフガンレンズて相性悪いと思ってたのに：）
We were very surprised that this family picture came out soooo good! A drunk guy and a SLR camera aren't supposed to be a good match:-)

そしてもちろんマディソンの可愛いビデオで今日のポストはおしまい！
And of course cute videos of Madison at the game concludes our post today!
