Daniel's First Visit To Villa Park

Last Sunday we went to the Corner Flag restaurant for some Sunday lunch courtesy of my Mum! We had a decent lunch and then wondered round to the Holte End where we took some more photo's before heading off to the Holte Pub.

Daniel finally got to see what Villa Park looks like inside and out and even said "Wow" when he saw the view from inside. He'd seen Whaddon Road before and when asked which ground that was he keeps saying "Aston Villa"! He tried hard to remember all the new names and things he was seeing for the first time. We had to laugh when we asked him later to remember the name of the stand we walked up the steps to - instead of saying "Holte End" he replied "Was it the toilet"?!




We watched some of the Everton game but it had been a long day for the little guy and he soon fell asleep for the journey back while we listened to our exit from the FA Cup. He seemed to enjoy his day and now I'm wondering whether to bring him for a pre-season friendly or something like that. It would be interesting to hear other parents stories of taking their children to games at this sort of age - he'll be 4 and a bit by the summer....

It was a good day as I hope tomorrow night will be as we head back up again for the CSKA Moscow game.

Other pictures from the day..........
