A sea of ORANGE!!!
Walking to the game from Aunt Kasi's house.
What a great way to start the season. We packed our bags, loaded the Suburban, buckled in the boys, turned on a movie and headed to Oklahoma for the first football game of the season. Friday evening the boys stayed at Gigi's and Casey and I visited with my sister and her roommate and many other old friends. We reminisced about "college days" (it wold have been just like the old days if Stoney, Cody, or Jason had been playing). Everyone had a story to tell. We truly enjoyed seeing old friends and catching up. It is funny how our conversations now tend to be slightly different. Now we discuss children, food, economy, politics, movies, work, etc. Where as 9 years ago ...well we didn't really do that much talking, mostly studying, singing and celebrating. I was fortunate enough to have the pleasure of running into a very dear friend that I haven't seen in 9 years. Great times for all!
Then on Saturday we picked up Parker (Paxson stayed and played with Gigi and Gammer) and headed to T.Boone Pickens Stadium. Parker really got into tailgating. He loved walking around visiting with people, throwing the football around with other kids, eating yummy hot dogs, and playing jokes on daddy's friends. (Lot's of Buck Snorts). We enjoyed visiting with many dear friends and introducing our oldest Pride and Joy. He is always very entertaining and keeps everyone laughing. We also enjoyed seeing the Heisman Trophy and getting a picture. Sports Illustrated had a special tent set up for viewing and taking photographs. Of Course we relished in some good old football food as well. I have to say a BIG highlight for Parker was the fly over before the game. What a great game. We didn't quite make it all the way through the entire game. It was so hot, so crowded, and Parker was very very tired. Afternoon games are hard, especially after getting to spend the night with Gigi. We all had a wonderful time
and enjoyed cheering on our Cowboys.
