Are You Ready for Some Football??


What is a dad to do when he has two tickets to one of the biggest games of the season?  And four kids?  And one wife?  We agonized for over a week about which kid would be able to go.  Of course, I could have gone.  But, going to the games isn't for me anymore.  I like the comforts of my own house where I can scream and yell and cheer on the team with my family.

This was a great opportunity and it came down to reverse birth order.  Yup, that's right.  Reverse birth order.  Boop had been to a game with daddy the year before.  So, it only made sense for Little Mama to go.  Which worked out pretty well.  She was willing to pay her siblings money that she has been saving for a possible missions trip in order to go!  She wanted to go that bad.

Boop and Nature Girl were good sports.  They didn't whine or complain at all!  We spent the whole night watching the game on the TV trying to find them.  Sissy was at the game and able to find them and hang out a little bit at half time.  And, they saw a bunch of kids from our church Youth Group selling peanuts there.

It was one of the most exciting games.  Ever.  So glad my Little Mama and her daddy got to share it together. . . .

First Football Game


On Friday we were blessed with a couple of free tickets to this weekend's football game.  Boop was thrilled to go with his daddy!  The game was at 3:30 and they met my sister and tailgated for a little bit.  Then went in early to watch the team practice and warm up.

The game was a rout 80-7, our team winning.  But Boop and daddy stayed until there was only a few minutes left.  When they got home they were both exhausted.  Boop loved it and can't wait to go again some day. . . .
