Denton, America

We headed to Denton a couple of weekends ago for a day full of North Texas fun. Grammy came with us this year to help with Jake and go to a football game in the new stadium. We started the day early and headed to the bookstore to get Jake a new North Texas shirt. (And somehow he also ended up a fun football too). We headed to my alumni meet next. There weren't a lot of alumni that were older, so I didn't know many of them. This may have been my last time to swim in an alumni meet. Jake had fun wandering around occasionally and cheering. Once we were done there we headed to a park to eat lunch , then we dropped Josh off to warm up for his game. Grammy and I took Jake to have some ice cream at Beth Marie's (best ice cream place ever) then drove around for a while so Jake could sleep some, then headed back to watch Josh's game. Well Jake played at the playground more than watched.

Once we were all nice and sweaty from the rugby game, we headed back to campus to get some dinner before the game. We stopped at a new resturant that was all macaroni and cheese! Yum. Then we walked ALL the way (it had to be at least to 2.5 miles) to the stadium. Jake actually did really great and walked a good portion of it. We didn't take the stroller so he had to walk a ton, but he did get carried some and a few piggy back rides. He loved the football game. He really got into cheering and looking for Scrappy. We also had a really nice family sitting in front of us and Jake was all about talking to them! He apparently impressed the lady so much with his cuteness, she went down to the store and bought him a foam claw. So nice! He finally got to see Scrappy and was so excited! (Although this year's Scrappy is not nearly as good as last year's.) He made it through the whole game though and did great. He did get carried all the way back to the car and also had his first peeing in the grass experience. We got almost to the car when he said he had to go potty, of course all of the buildings on campus are closed so no access to a bathroom. So we quickly found a hidden place for him to go. I was surprised that he went without any hesitation! Good thing he is a boy! It made it nice and simple and clean. And with that, we headed home. It was a LONG day, but we had fun. Jake can't wait to go back to a football game and asks about it almost every day. I love it!
