OU v. Airforce

We took John to his first football game last weekend. It was AMAZING!

We ended up going down on Friday and got to walk around campus before it got dark and take a couple of pictures. (I took my small camera so that I could take it into the game, so I didn't get the best pictures, but they will do).

We stayed at the Sooner Legends hotel and it was great. Although it was old, it was cool to see all the memoriable that they had on display. We stayed in the barry Switzer suite, so we have now seen every picture of Barry ever taken on the field. In the morning we were able to have breakfast next to Joe Washington and a couple of other 1975 champioship players. That was pretty cool.

On gameday we took John to the Natural History Museum there on campus and he loved the dinosaurs and other exhibits.

After which we laid him down for a nap for about an hour, just to try and help the long day ahead of us. Carl and I were getting restless, so we woke him up and off we went.

John was super excited to be at OU and to go to the game and see Boomer and Sooner. First we met up with Granddaddy and then walked over with him to our seats. Carl found us seats on the goal line on the first row! Was not the best seat to actually watch the game, but it seriously could not have been better for a kid. We were right in front of the cheerleaders and all the action. We were able to stand John up on the wall so he cuold see and we did not have to hold him the whole time.

He got to see and give high 5's to both the Boomer and Sooner mascots and then the rough necks gave him an empty shotgun shell for a souviner. There was a fly over becuase it was the airforce game. Those planes were REALLY loud, so John covered his ears for most of the game. The cheerleaders LOVED him, in fact a couple of them got off beat or whatever becuase they were watching him. After the game was over they all swormed him. He was being a ham and did his "OU" arm signals for them.

Overall it was an awesome day and I can not wait to do it again!
