So college football season has begun again...which means every Saturday is consumed by a 3 hour football game. I'm really so tired of hearing "fight on"...blah blah blah...usc blah blah blah....we need to give our Bruins some love. For those of you who don't know, we are HUGE UCLA fans. Not only does my husband enjoy the games, but I do too. I actually like sports a lot...as Mike says, its kind of freakish how I know random things about sports. But anywhoo, we both enjoy this season. This was the first year that Van got to accompany dad to a game. They tend to be all day affairs between the driving, commuting on the bus to the stadium, the (at least) 3 hour game itself, commuting back to the parking structure, and then driving home. So up until now, I'm not sure any of us wanted to brave the whole day with a tired little boy...but now....big boys get to have all of the fun. Mike took Van to the first game of the season, against SDSU and of course we were hoping for a win. Van even wore his little jersey (seen above) that he got from "nana" for his birthday this year. So him and his daddy got all dressed up, packed in the car and had a great time. Van said he got to enjoy popcorn, nachos, a hotdog, lemonade and much more. He got to see Joe Bruin dancing too. Still to this day, if you ask Van what the best part was he will tell you "the tunnels". I guess when Mike and him were driving there they rolled down the windows when they went through the freeway tunnels and screamed really loud....he loved it. It was so nice for Van and daddy to get to spend some one on one time. You really forget about that once you have a second. You forget that for the first part of your first child's life, they were used to having you all to themselves. Van is great with Ava and never really puts up too big a fight about sharing time with her...but you can tell by the big smile on his face that when he gets you all to himself he loves it! Here's a couple of more pics from the big game day.
PS The bruins won...so all around it was a great day!!
