Last year we had 4 season tickets in section 428, row 9, seats 12-15. I wasn't sure last year if we would even go to half the games. It is a 3 1/2 hour drive each way from Orlando to Sun Life Stadium. My wife and I had gone to games before, but it was usually one game a season, and we never brought the kids. I was not sure how my kids would enjoy the game as not even the older ones would actually watch a game with me on TV. I have 5 kids.... Roxanne(14), Christopher(12), Josiah(5), Nathanael(3), and Ian(1). I had concerns that they would not be able to sit through a game.

While my 2 year old(who is 3 now) probably didn't spend too much time in his actual seat, he did enjoy the games a lot more than I expected. He would sing the Miami Dolphins song all week... I really need to video tape that and post it ...

Josiah for the most part watched very intently, but would occasionally act like a 4 year old as you would expect(he turned 5 in December). Aside from the time I threatened to disown him because he said he liked the "Blue Horseshoe team" I really enjoyed watching him get into the game. And the good news is he finally stopped talking about Pat Devlin who he for some reason developed an interest in during the preseason, and started talking about Ryan Tannehill.

Chris and Roxanne both enjoyed the games as you would expect. My daughter did admit to me that the thing she enjoyed the most was the trip to and from the game... but ... what do you expect... My wife definitely enjoyed going to the game, although she was a little upset that she had to miss a few games because our babysitter fell through. The game she was most upset about was the Patriots game... ouch...

In any case we decided to go with 6 tickets this year. And since we are making such a big deal out of it anyway, we moved from section 428 to section 128 row 9 and 10. We are have 3 seats in each row, with 2 people on each side. if you understood how many times 2 little ones who are sucking down refillable coke go to the bathroom ... it is going to be awesome being able to get out so easily...

I am going to try to give a short write up after each game like I did a couple of times last season. I will do a better job this time... I might make my wife drive home, so I can take her laptop and write the post on the way home, so all my thoughts are fairly fresh in my memory.
