Texas Football

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Today we took the whole family to the Texas-Iowa State football game. Before we left for the game, however, Rachel went for a seven mile run. As she was finishing up it began to rain. We weren't sure how the game would be, but luckily it stopped raining before the game.

We parked near the fire station closest to the stadium and walked from there to the stadium. It was a pretty long walk, but both boys walked the entire way. They seemed to enjoy the walk and everything to look at.

During the first half of the game, the boys were a little cranky. They weren't that into the game. I think they were kind of hungry. During the 2nd quarter, Rachel and I took them down to the food court and got them food. They each got an ICEE and Evan had a personal pizza. Noah ate some of the pizza as well and they both had some apples. After that the boys were in a much better mood.

We stayed into the 4th quarter because the boys were being so well behaved. Unfortunately, Texas was not playing well. After they went down 28-6, we left.

The walk back to the car was tough because by that point, Evan and Noah were tired. I carried Evan almost the entire way back.

When we got to the fire station, one of the trucks was pulled out and sitting there. Evan wanted to look at the truck. One of the firefighters came out and was happy to show Evan the truck. Noah wanted to see it too. They got to go into the fire truck and both boys actually go to sit in the driver's seat. Evan absolutely loved it. On the way home, he said he wanted to do it again.

When we got home, the boys played outside for a bit. But then they got really cranky. We put Noah down for a nap and after a little fit, Evan fell asleep next to me on the couch while I watched the Auburn-LSU game.

For dinner, Grandma and Papa babysat for the boys. They took them to Waterloo Ice House. Noah ate all of his peanut butter and jelly sandwich and his fruit. Evan ate half of his sandwich and all of his fruit.

Rachel and I went to the Buenos Aires Cafe. It was pretty good. It was nice and relaxing too.

When we got home we watched the end of the Phillies-Giants game. I was happy that the Giants won.

Until next time...
