Things are getting REAL.....

Today we surprised Aydin for his birthday (an early birthday present) and took him to the REAL Betis vs REAL Madrid futbol game in Sevilla.  He had no clue what we had planned until we parked the car and I pulled out his Betis jersey to put on.

We got there a bit early to get our tickets and walk around...
This is the typical way of tailgating out here is Spain:

 Soccer players are the biggest fakers!!  He rolled around forever until the ref called it.... then got up and ran off...

Ya... Betis got killed!!

Even though they lost, it was a great day.  Futbol games are so much fun... I cannot wait to go back!
