Football Season

We kicked off the 2012 football season with a fun trip to Waco and a great game! The boys were amazing - especially with no naps! - they had a great time cheering on the Bears and hanging out with lots of family. Even though it was miserably hot outside (like it always is at the beginning of a season), we braved the heat to enjoy some tailgating with our friends and family. I have to say, Baylor tailgating has grown leaps and bounds since I was a student there.  We love the new game day atmosphere and all the school spirit. In fact, the boys and I enjoyed it so much that we decided to spend the second half of the game back at our tailgate spot.

Don't get me wrong - they really enjoyed the stadium atmosphere too - but keeping them from jumping on, bumping into, and/or grabbing random fans around us is getting more and more challenging :) Thankfully, everyone around us seems kind enough to indulge the little ones for a while. Griffin made friends with a boy several years older than him who was sitting in the row behind us. They played peek-a-boo, gave fist bumps, and even shared a bag of chips before the night was over.

And the Bears played a great game against the SMU Mustangs - also a big change from my student days!  We're looking forward to lots more tailgating, football, and (hopefully) cooler weather this fall.
