THANK YOU SO MUCH. WITH MORE INFORMATION. IN THE MEANTIME, A MOMENT OF PURE JOY CAUGHT ON CAMERA AND MELTING HEARTS. AN 11 YEAR OLD KENTUCKY BOY BREAKING DOWN IN TEARS AFTER OPENING HIS FINAL CHRISTMAS PRESENT FROM HIS DAD. IT WAS TICKETS TO LAST SATURDAY’S BENGALS BRONCOS GAME. WHAT A GAME TO GO TO, RIGHT? WE FIRST SHOWED YOU THE VIRAL VIDEO FRIDAY, AND TODAY WE CAUGHT UP WITH THE PAIR TO HEAR ABOUT THEIR UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE. WLWT NEWS 5 KARIN JOHNSON LIVE OUTSIDE PAYCOR STADIUM WITH THEIR STORY. HI, KAREN. HEY, MIKE. AND WHAT AN EXPERIENCE FOR THESE TWO. SATURDAY AFTERNOON, THE TWO MADE THE TRIP UP FROM SOUTHERN KENTUCKY TO PAYCOR STADIUM. AND YEAH, LIKE YOU SAID, THEY GOT A GREAT GAME. BUT, YOU KNOW, WIN OR LOSE, IT’S THE POWER OF FAMILY AND MAKING MEMORIES. THAT’S WHAT MAKES LIFE SO SPECIAL. READ WHAT IT SAYS. START AT THE TOP. ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS. AFTER 11 YEAR OLD AIDEN OPENS HIS FINAL CHRISTMAS PRESENT. WHEN YOU READ IT FOR YOU, WE HAVE TWO TICKETS TO GO WATCH THE TEAM PLAY AND ENJOY THE DAY WITH THE OTHER BENGALS FANS. LOVE, DAD. AGAIN, AIDEN COLLAPSES IN TEARS OF JOY INTO HIS DAD’S CHEST AS THE TWO SHARE AN EMOTIONAL EMBRACE. FAST FORWARD A FEW DAYS. THE TWO FELT THEIR WORLD SPINNING WITH EXCITEMENT AS THEY ARRIVED AT PAYCOR STADIUM, FIRST TAILGATING WITH THE BENGALS BOMB SQUAD FOR SOME OF THE CINCINNATI SUPERFANS ARE THERE. I WANTED TO BE ABLE TO MEET THEM, BUT THEN THE NOTORIETY OF THE TIKTOK VIDEO TOOK OFF BECAUSE WHEN WE WERE WALKING AROUND, PEOPLE WERE RECOGNIZING HIM. IT FELT WEIRD BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, I’M NOT I’M ONLY LIKE 11 YEARS OLD. IT JUST FEELS WEIRD BECAUSE, LIKE, YOU HAVE PEOPLE COMING UP TO YOU GOING, YOU’RE THE PERSON FROM TIKTOK. IT’S LIKE, OKAY, YEAH, I AM. AIDEN QUICKLY FORGOT ABOUT ALL OF HIS NEWFOUND FAME. ONCE INSIDE THE STADIUM, WE WENT INSIDE THE STADIUM AND LIKE, YOU KNOW, YOU HAD THIS BIG GROUP OF PEOPLE JUST COMING IN. I WAS VERY LIKE. I WAS JUST, WOW, JUST COMING IN TOGETHER AND CHEERING ON ONE TEAM. MADDIE. CINCINNATI. WE’VE GOT A TEAM RIGHT HERE IN TOWN. THE ROAR OF THE JUNGLE. I CAN FEEL IT THROUGH MY FINGERS. OF COURSE, AFTER EVERY TOUCHDOWN, LISTENING TO HIM, YOU KNOW, DO THE HOODIE CHANT. I MEAN, IT’S ONE OF THE GREATEST SATISFACTIONS I CAN HAVE IS JUST HAVING THAT EXPERIENCE WITH THEM. AND, YOU KNOW, HERE’S HOPING THAT SOMETIME SOON, YOU KNOW, I’LL BE ABLE TO DO THE SAME WITH THIS ONE OVER HERE AS WELL. GOOD. HOORAY, -- AIN’T GOING TO BEAT THEM. BENGALS NO FANS. AND GUYS, AFTER THE GAME AIDEN HAD A CHANCE TO MEET AND TAKE HIS PICTURE WITH TEE HIGGINS. AND HE SAID YOU KNOW WHAT. AFTER THE WINNING TOUCHDOWN HE HUGGED HIS FATHER. AND IT WAS AN EVEN BIGGER HUG THAN THE ONE HE GAVE HIM WHEN HE GOT THE CHRISTMAS GIFT. SPECIAL DAY FOR THOSE TWO. REPORTIN
