"We made it! I'm here!" Yes, Carter has been to Twins games at the Dome but not for Vikings football -- until yesterday.
Pretty exciting atmosphere around the plaza outside the dome.
Carter got to meet "Viktor" during training camp so we didn't bother with waiting in line for another photo.
"I'm excited to be here, too!" Not my first Vikings game, but one of the most memorable! 
Oooh, Adrian Peterson larger than life!
We sat in the second level. Not really that high up, but it took awhile for Carter to get used to it. Notice the gripping of the railing! You can't beat the big smile, though!
The game was sold out -- 62,466 tickets, I think -- so we obviously were shooting these pictures more than an hour before game time.
We wandered around the upper level awhile, hoping to catch a glimpse of Adrian Peterson in warmups. And we did!
Joe Webb, Toby Gearhart, Lorenzo Booker and Adrian Peterson in pregame huddle.
"Hi Adrian. Nice to meet you!"
"OK, I'm not taller than Adrian Peterson... but I'm almost taller than my mom!"
Carter stands between two of favorites: Jared Allen and Percy Harvin. Got to see some big plays out of both of them so that was cool.
Carter was excited to see the FOX Sports camera man. This is the big time!
Their drum line is called the Skol Line. Clever and talented.
Former Vikings kicker and Vikings all-time leading scorer Fred Cox sounds the Gjallarhorn to signal "The Vikings are coming!"
The team enters the field through the inflated Vikings ship -- met with cheers and fireworks. Cool.
Pregame cheering and flag waving.
Quarterback Donovan McNabb steps onto the field before his, well, mediocre performance. He has yet to impress me. But I don't hate him or anything.
Obligatory snapshot of cheerleaders for hubby, who didn't come with us. We honestly had agreed years ago we weren't going to spend anymore money on the Vikings. But that doesn't mean we couldn't spend it on Carter and the Vikings. So he encouraged Carter and I to go by ourselves.
Action in the first half -- when we actually scored.
The purple defense lines up.
Before Sunday's game, Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford had not been sacked. We changed that and got 4 yesterday!
At the end of the day, though, that still wasn't enough. The Lions roared back from being down 20-0 at halftime to tie it and eventually win it.
Waiting for overtime to start, Carters says, "No matter what happens, this has been so awesome!!"
Skol, Carter!

What a great time with your son, great memories! I loved every moment of every game I spent with my boys in the Dome! Good Times! Win or Lose (and mostly lose) the memories are priceless!
Thanks for sharing,
