So I googled the Guinness Book of World Records for the most football games watched in a weekend, because I'm 99.9% certain that Husband would have a shot at holding this record...sadly, no such record exists! New Goal...anywhoo's, Saturday, after TJ's game (His team's first loss of the season) we jumped in the family truckster and headed for Cheney to watch the Eagle's take on Northern Colorado. It was super fun to bring my kids to my collegiate Alma mater...however I felt really, really old!!!
The new red turf field is awesome and we all had so much fun! This was TJ's second college game...I took him to a UW game in Sept., but EWU is a small enough university that you don't feel like a tiny speck amongst 25,000 others...a small town feel, which we are accustomed to. The weather was amazing, I caught up with some sorority sisters, and Husband and TJ really got into the game. Husband rarely gets the privilege of sitting in the stands with me during a sporting event, so it's nice for him to see what it takes to maintain sanity...for example:3 large popcorn's, 3 waters, gummy bears (all during quarter 1), at least 1 lap around the field at half-time, 3 hot chocolates in the 3rd quarter, and no less than 1/2 dozen bathroom breaks. And that's on top of the large bag of hats, gloves, blankets, and coats that I always have packed. Sigh.
It's very fun to listen to Husband and TJ talk football and I'm impressed with how much my son knows about the game! I also love watching other dad's who bring their small children to games expecting long periods of sitting and the kids to eagerly watch. Sorry to disappoint the men of the world, but 8yrs old is the minimum age a child will sit, watch, and enjoy the game...before that you're wasting your energy. Beau and Finley would celebrate at a TOUCHDOWN, but they could of cared less about anything else besides their noise makers and snacks.
Overall a very nice Saturday-we rarely can get out of town in the Fall due to TJ's football schedule, so this was great! Husband wants to get them to a WSU game in November, but I'm fairly certain that Grandpa will take us out of his will and not talk to us ever again and I'm not willing to risk that simply to watch the Cougs.

Go Eagles!
Husband and TJ watching the game!
I had to catch them sitting...still!!! Pretty impressive for two kids who spend hours at a football field each week!
Tailgating fun with Betsi..and other Alpha Phi's in the background!
The sun was so bright..but I'm not complaining, it could have been rain.
Future Eastern Eagle's, perhaps? Nothing wrong with a state college (and it's tuition) right Husband?
