Uncle Dave was so excited the night before the game - he couldn't sleep. So when the big day came - he was up early and packing the car. Hatcher was just as excited - he got up and got dressed all by himself in his new UGA jersey and was ready to go - Aidan was right behind him. Packed - car decorated with more Razorback magnets and flags than UGA - we were set. Off to get breakfast on the road - we had our first foreshadowing of the day - we lost one of our new UGA window flags. At 55 mph - off the thing went. The window attachment was still on the window, but the flag was long gone - married somewhere to the asphalt on PIB north. LOL. But it didn't slow us down - down one flag - but not in spirit. The drive was fun and the kids were excited about Uncle Dave's choice dance mix music. I think both Lisa and I could have waited another hour or so for the beats to rock the car...but the kids had fun!
We arrived in Athens with temps above normal for game day - I mean...let me just tell you - it was so freaking hot - probably near 100 if not hotter where we were sitting. But first we were off to meet Dave's co-worker. And how lucky - along the way we passed Russ (our official mascot) and Hairy Dog. We quickly snapped photos with both!
Then a quick hike up several flights of stairs to our seats. The boys made it through all 4 quarters. Aidan was done after the 1st - but we pushed through and by the half time he was into the game once again. The boys also met up with a 9-year old who was willing to entertain them between plays - so all was well.
Even though Arkansas won - we all had good fun. It was a great game - minus the heat. The boys had fun - and I think the adults had just as much fun. The season is not looking to good for GA - so...go Razorbacks...Pig Sooey! (Don't worry Dave - Aidan still yells it from time to time...and Hatcher insists on drinking from the ARK game cups!)
