Yesterday's football game was quite hectic to say the least. The kids and I were dressed and on campus by 10am so that we could watch March In. For reasons unknown, Holden loves watching the Corp march in before each home game. Yesterday the Army cadets joined the A&M cadets during march in - it truly made you get a lump in your throat to watch these young men and women march by so proudly. They were trying to keep a serious face but you could see the smiles creep onto their face as everyone around gave them standing ovations. Made you proud to be an Aggie and proud to be an American. After March In the kids made the rounds at the Kids Zone. You can see from the picture below that Colby caught some serious air as he was coming down the slide - I'm sure this is an accident waiting to happen! Colby also tried out the rock climbing wall. He thought it was going to be a lot easier than it was!
We got to our seats right before all the festivities kicked off. The flyover was performed by four Apache helicopters and then four Black Knight parachuters landed perfectly onto the 50 yard line of Kyle Field - it was awesome. Then, right before Kick Off, Colby and I had to leave the game and head to his first soccer game of the season. Who plans a soccer game in College Station during a football game?! The Bulldogs (Colby's team) lost 5-2 but it was amazing seeing the progress that Colby has made since the Spring. He went to two soccer camps over the summer and he's really starting to get some "skills"! This year he moved up a league and the field is twice as big as it was last year. The kids were worn out when the game was over!
But, our day wasn't over yet! We rushed back to Kyle Field to catch the last 8+ minutes of the football game! The Aggies pulled out a W for their first home game win of the season - let's hope it won't be the last!

This picture was taken by Holden - not the best but she at least got both of us in the picture!
Holden decided to hang with Pop Pop before the game started!
