Class Field Trip to the CU Football Game

This morning started out bright (well dark) & early. Joseph's teacher gets his class & their families tickets for a CU football game each year. We knew the boys were going to go but we kept going back & forth on the girls. I called Lexie into our room & she said, "Yes, I want to go to the football game." So, we sent a text to Mr. K to make sure he still had enough tickets for all of us girls to come & we hurried to get ready to go to Boulder.
Andrew was taking the "layering" to the extreme.

I'm glad we told him to take the extra pair of pants off as the afternoon warmed up quite nicely. Before the game, Logan's family arranged for some tailgating for the class. It was awesome. We had a fun breakfast, colored "GO CU" pictures for the kids to hold up, played lots of soccer & football in the field, & Andrew & Eliza's favorite-tossed lots of bean bags. It was great & the kids were all sad to pack up & head to the game.

But, the game was plenty fun, too. Here's Joseph & his awesome teacher, Mr. K.

And here's Joseph with Logan & Brandon.

After the game (yes, CU lost by a lot) the kids stopped for a picture on the buffalo.

And Andrew needed his own picture, too.

Joseph's favorite part of the game was seeing Ralphie the buffalo run around the field twice.
Lexie's favorite part was being able to play with her friends during the game.
Eliza's favorite part was eating a cookie & making a mess with the drinks.
Andrew's favorite part of the game was playing with Preston & seeing the parachutes & skydivers.
Rick's favorite part was playing catch with the kids before the game. Lexie has a great spiral. (She must get that from her mom.)
Lucy's favorite part was being adored by tons of 2nd graders. She couldn't get enough of it.
Cheryl's favorite part was watching everyone have such a great time & enjoying it all.
We're so glad we got to go to the game. It will be easier in some ways when kids are a bit older & not falling asleep on you but really, it was a great age to take them & it was a blast getting to be with so many of the great families in Joseph's class. He really has great friends & kids in his class & an awesome teacher, too. We love fun Saturday's like this!
