1st football game

Scott took Gavin to his first UT football game today. Here they are in the backyard before leaving for the game, looking very handsome in their Texas garb.


We have season tickets in the student section (Scott being in grad school has its perks!) but sitting there requires you to stand. The whole game. On the bleachers. That's not terribly kid-friendly! This week Scott used his boss's tickets - thank you Scott's boss! - so he and Gavin had a place to sit and, from this high up, you can see everything.


There was apparently drama in the car on the way to pick up Stan (one of Scott's co-workers who went to the game also). We'd promised Gavin that Scott would grab a juice box for him, and then the juice box was forgotten on the way out the door. Gavin fell apart in the car, screaming and crying and declaring that he didn't want to go to the game (did I mention that Gavin missed his nap to go to the football game this afternoon?). Luckily, Stan had juice that he kindly shared with Gavin.


Gavin watched people more than the game. He thought it was neat to be up so high, and the stadium's size is a spectacle all by itself.


I love this picture - check out the band on the field! It was awfully bright, so poor Gavin is all squinty, but he's still the cutest little Longhorn at the game :)
