Friday Night Lights

Last night Lehr, "D", and I took Eli and Maddux to their first high school football game. Since Eli has shown such an interest in musical instruments (tuba, drums, trombone) recently, we figured he'd enjoy the half-time show at least. We got to our seats around 8PM, so he was already a little tired, but he stayed awake and attentive until the we left (after the show). Maddux hung out in the bjorn the whole time, nodding on and off. She was a bit disturbed by all of the noise, but from time to time she caught a few winks. Eli sat wide-eyed on D's lap until half-time when we moved higher in the stands. Then he sat with Daddy and pointed out the 'dddddrums!' and 'too-bah's. D taught Eli to say 'foot' and then 'ball', but he preferred to refer to the experience as the 'geeem' (game). I think this will become a more regular fall activity for the kids.
