First KU football game!

Our wonderful neighbors gave us some tickets as well as a parking pass for today's football game so we decided to take Alaina and give it a try! We met up with Papa and Mema, since they have season tickets. One of our really good friends (Sean) was also in town and at the game, so it was a great day to see everyone! Before I proceed with some pictures I wanted to let everyone know that Alaina made it all the way through the first quarter--we were so proud of her! While Daddy hung out with Sean and his other friends I took her over to the kid zone where she let them put a Jayhawk tatoo on her cheek. I was amazed at sweet and gentle to workers were with her. They gave her time to warm up to them and talked to her until she was comfortable. We had a really fun and great first game experience with her and we're definitely going to take her again. ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK!!!

As we were walking by Xavier Henry he immediately said, "Hi!" to Alaina and asked her for a high five. She gave him a huge smile and a big high five. When we asked if we could take a quick picture he said, "Sure!" We think that Alaina is really excited for basketball season to start.

We tried to capture as many pictures as we could of the Jayhawk mascots, because she was so infatuated with them. She watched their every move and whenever they disappeared we were anxiously waiting for them to become visible, because she kept saying, "Where Jayhawks go!" We weren't able to get her down to see the Jayhawks up close, since we only made it through the first quarter, so we'll shoot for that next time.

You KNOW i'm a Sweany fan if I'm willing to endure the red and blue in these photos just to catch a glimpse of your crew in action...It was a BEAUTIFUL day for a football game...even if THAT'S the game you were attending.
