To kick off the football season, Kyle and I headed up to East Tennessee to take in the home opener for the University of Tennessee. This is sort of an annual tradition for Kyle and me but this year we added a few new passengers to the mix. Two very special babes...
Our little VOLS came along for the ride to see a lot of "news" up on the hill. A new coach, for the second year in a row...grrrr, a new stadium, and a new team. Addie was a little confused about the whole football game. She thought we were going two blocks from our house to the high school game. She kept on asking,"Are all of my friends going to come and play?" Yes, my daughter is a social butterfly already... why else does a girl go to a football game?
I think she finally got the concept when we reached the Crossville exit on I-40 and said, "Are we at the stadium yet?" Kyle and I had a great time taking Addie and Drew around the hill before the game and watching Addie run around in the grass. I do wish I could have recorded the comments we over heard about having a five month old and a three year old at a football game.

Another UT pic to add to the collection.
Addie chasing a dragonfly and doing her best Peyton Manning impression.
Holding Daddy's hand and making our way to the Stadium.
Drew took it all in and was quite the ladies man in his checkerboard overalls.
Mr. Bear even made it into the stadium. I am amazed they did not make him have a ticket. He was our third child for the day because every five minutes we would ask, "Do you have Mr. Bear?" "Where is Mr. Bear?"
The Pride of the Southland Marching Band soothed Baby Drew to sleep during halftime.
What a game... UTK 50 UTM 0
Go Big Orange!!!!
