"Hey hey hey it's a beautful day!"
Yesterday my sweetie was watching his favourite team play football. They are a relatively small team but their fans are passionate.
This team had made it all the way to the Scottish cup final! Which I am assured is a very big deal.
Their colours are tangerine and black
( although I will admit it looks orange to me ;) )
Here is my very own tangerine man ready to head off to Glasgow for the big game!
He was still eating his breakfast while being papped LOL
and my Father in law who "toned it down" by wearing a black shirt ..........................
and orange and white shoes and black and orange socks lol
I am not a football fan but I have to say that I was even swept away with the excitement of the occassion. It was hard not to when my 4 year old was cheering at the TV and doing the dance taught to her by Daddy.
It was a little difficult to explain why we couldn't see Daddy on the TV, 27,000 supporters doesn't mean much to a 4 year old.
Here they are singing one of the team's anthems
spot the Daddy ;)
They won ! In an exciting 2nd half Dundee United had a very well deserved Victory! This is only the second time they have won this cup in 100 years!
Today we headed off to the fairly nearby City of Dundee, so Daddy could watch his heroes bring the cup home!
A local radio station was there to provide music for the party atmosphere and all of the teams favourites were played including Beautiful Sunday.
Kirsten's dancing was noted by a passing cameraman and she was rewarded by seeing herself strut her stuff on the big screen in front of the crowds!!
Mummy had a not so proud moment as she forgot the camera :-(
Thanks to Granny and Beebs we got a prime spot right by the barriers and we saw the team as they arrived!
Fraser got a high five from the man of the match, who scored 2 of the 3 goals yesterday.
I have to say again that I am usually not a sports person but today in the city square surrounded by thousands of people, there was a real family orientated party atmosphere and it was really quite emotional.
An occasion that 3 generations of our family enjoyed together. And that is always beautiful.

PS. Look who came home to me!
Mama got her kiss in the end xx

Hello Lee Ann. Thank you for all your visits, I have not been so good. I appreciate all your comments.
I enjoyed browsing today and the photos are great. Really liked the orange theme.
And where you live is wonderful. I am coming to visit when the sun shines!
Hope you have a fantastic week. xxx
Glad that your team won. For a moment I thought that the boys were Baltimore Oriole fans.. ( same colors)
Hope you have a wonderful week.
That looks like sooooo much fun. I'm not a sports fan either, but it is hard not to get swooped up in the emotion when thousands of people around you are all revved up.
