The Colts Superbowl Trophy

Well, the Indianapolis colts did a fantastic job winning the beautiful Vince Lombardi trophy for superbowl XVI. It came to my town this past weekend: Greenfield, Indiana, on its statewide tour (and on Peyton Manning's birthday!!!!!). In the paper it said it would be here from 11am-1pm. So, seeing as I have 2 children 5 and under get to the fire station at 11. The line is UNBELIEVABLE. I didnt have a stroller.... absolutely without drinks or anything. I stood in line holding my 23 pound son the entire time while talking with my other son and waiting in our colts apparel. I was so excited and willing to wait so I could look at the trophy and hopefully touch it.... I wanted a photo of my boys with it too! Of course right before our turn my little boy falls asleep in my arms.. figures. We get to the front of the line, where we are greeted by a rude man in a suit who procedes to look at me like I am an idiot when I give him my camera turned off. I didnt realize he didnt know how to turn on a camera.(grin) So I take it back and turn it on eventhough it woulda saved him a few minutes to turn it on himself. As I shift my little boy and purse while grabbing the camera and turning it on, trying to keep track of my other boy. Rediculous. Then I see the trophy... however I am hurried to stand on the taped X on the floor and my other boy is on the other side wanting to look at the trophy also but the "guard" tells us to turn around! We didnt even get to look at it... so hurried.. rediculous. 2 hours in line... TWO HOURS of holding my 23 pound baby who didnt want to be held... so I could NOT see the trophy. I was disappointed to say the least. Seeing as I am a huge Indianapolis Colts fan, proof being that my 23 pound toddler is named Peyton, I felt a little cheated that we didnt get to touch it and check it out. I would rather have it be chaotic and be able to touch it then rushed and not be able to touch or see it... I know that it was placed in a larger, richer community where they were able to touch the trophy. What does that tell me?
