Football Day

We're ready for some Virginia football!  With a new coach and a new team, our house is hoping for some great games and wins this year.  Today was Meet the Team Day, where we got to run around the stadium and hang out with the team and coaches. 

Evan was super excited by the bouncy-house. Since he's just recently learned to jump, this was the coolest thing ever to him. Evan was the smallest one in there with a couple of bigger kids, but Evan held his own!  I think he could have happily stayed there all day.

The kids were given an orange and blue football at the stadium, and from the way Evan was clutching it, we never thought he'd put it down.  We knew we'd have to avoid CavMan, as Evan's not too keen on mascots.  Sure enough, as soon as he saw CavMan he started pulling us in the other direction.  It's funny because he loves photos of CavMan, but that doesn't translate.  We went over to pet the horse, Sabre, that the real CavMan rides into the stadium, and Evan was excited to stand in line.  He waited patiently until we got to the front of the line, and then - just when it was our turn, Evan let out an ear piercing scream of, "No No No!"  Oh well. 

Evan also got his first body paint at the Meet the Team Day.  He got a Virginia Sabre logo on his hand, and wore it proudly all afternoon.  We ran into his friend who was waiting in line for a player's autograph, and Evan told him all about the bouncy-house and his body paint.  Both boys were super excited for each others adventures.

Here's to a winning season!
