Wall of the Wasatch/Monarchs Home Opener

We got the chance to meet ReAL Salt Lake's Keeper 
and Keeper for the US Men's National Team:
Nick Rimando!

3/4 Clegg kids & my dad in towe!
Free face painting that Jaxson was all over
"Let's send a photo to Uncle Austin"
Although out wait was almost 2 hours... who knows how long the wait for all 100+ people was...
Madison freaked out.
Wouldn't go near him.
FYI I'm almost the same size of this guy!
Believe it!
Yet watching him on the screen and in person, he looks much taller and meaty-ier

The kids also go Leo the Lion's autograph (that's Joao Plata's signature on the left)

The next day we headed down to Rio Tinto Stadium to watch the home opener of 
USL ReAL Monarchs SLC vs. Portland Timbers 2.
Cheap tickets + free car ride with the Cleggs = Good Times.
Even Ellie Belly was excited!

 Yes we braved the stormy weather & didn't care.
 They only opened up one side of the stadium for tickets
and still over 2,000 people came out.
Favorite thing heard from the drunk people:
Directed toward the Ref "Go back to AYSO!"
And then...
James: "It's a yellow, like your shirt!"
Random person reply "I have to disagree!"
 We took up an entire row.
2 other families came with us.
 Monarchs tied 1-1
 Photo with #10 MF Ricardo Velazco
at least we're 87% sure that's who he is...
we're still getting to know our Real Monarch players.
