She's Got Sol

This past Sunday we took Ava to see the inaugural match of the new Women's Professional Soccer league featuring the L.A. Sol against the Washington Freedom.  Not counting the two Chelsea matches Ava attended whilst in the womb, this was Ava's first professional soccer match.  The Sol are captained by South High star Shannon Boxx and feature Marta, a three time FIFA World Player of the Year. 

We got to the match early, which gave Ava some time to settle in before the stadium got crowded.  As you can see Ava they passed out blow up bam-bams (aka Thunder Sticks), and since we got home she sees them and says "boom boom."
While Ava was able to sit in her seat for about 20 minute, she spent a lot of time walking up and down the steps.  Her favorite spot, however, was standing up above the crowd where she could stand up in the handicapped section and watch all the action.

We left at half time so we could get home in time for Ava's dinner, but not before saying goodbye to the Home Depot Center.
