Our First Tailgate of the Year

Last weekend we loaded the car and headed Northeast to Starkville. I couldn't wait to get to spend time with my family and to see how Andrew liked all of the tailgating festivities.

Andrew LOVED the day. He only slept 15 minutes in the car so I was worried about the day but there was so much for him to do and see that he never once acted tired. His cousin Emma played so nicely with him and entertained him.





It makes my heart happy that these two are getting to know each other.

Andrew brought books for his cousins Emma (6) and Ella (2). Emma was so impressed that Andrew picked out the book for her. She kept asking me, "did Andrew really pick this book out". It was a Disney princess book and I of course said, yes he did :)

Andrew got some quality time with his Granddad who read his book about Trucks to him.



Then we headed to the kids area where Emma and Andrew got to jump in a jump jump. Andrew liked it at first but there were too many big kids so he got out pretty quickly. We also visited with Bully. Andrew calls Bully a Bear and to his credit he does look like his brown bears at home. This picture is priceless to me. Apparently Andrew was not a fan on sitting on the life size "Bear" Bully.



About an hour to game time we made our way to the stadium. Emma wanted to hold Andrew's hand. He walked hand in hand with Emma and Grandmom.



All in all it was a great day. We stayed an hour of the game. Wish it was longer but we do what he can with a 21 month old. We got to see the pep rally and the airforce fly over. Andrew loves planes so this was big excitement for him - even though he got shy and huddled close when they came over the field. The planes flew pretty low so I could see how it would be shocking.

We plan to go back in October for another game!
