Texas vs. Wyoming

Yesterday, Andrew attended his first Longhorn football game--hopefully the first of many. Last week, Monica heard about a promotion where tickets were half off. They weren't great seats, but thought it wasn't a bad deal. And it was a night game so I knew it wouldn't be too hot for Andrew. So, we bought some tickets and headed up this afternoon.

We headed straight for Posse East to hang out before the game and grab a bite to eat and drinks and also meet Granddad, John and Sharon. We got to spend some time with them before we had to leave for the stadium.

When we got up to our seats (way high, but not too bad), the game had already started. Andrew cheered and clapped along with the rest of the crowd.

I took him down to get some pizza for him and drinks for all of us. By that time, it was half time and he enjoyed the marching bands. Later, Daddy went to get Andrew some ice cream for his dessert. After that, we allowed Andrew to watch his iPad. He had did a good job during the game so far and we knew he was getting tired because he didn't take a nap during the ride up from Houston.

After the game, we walked back to Posse and met up with the family again. We didn't stay too long because Andrew was really tired. He fell asleep in the car in no time.

I was happy with Andrew's behavior and now we know he can make it at least through half a game. And I am sure we could have made him watch longer. But we definitely have no hesitation with taking him to another game.

We had a great time; and it was made all the better with a win to start off the season! Go Horns!!
