College Football

We took Samuel and Shira to their first college football game yesterday at Stanford's new stadium. I think it was only the second football game I've ever been too. The stadium is gorgeous, and it really felt like we were so close to the field.

Stanford vs. San Jose State. SJSU got slaughtered, which was a little hard on Samuel because he really wanted "Mommy's Team" to win. He loved being there, though, and wanted to stay for the whole game. Shira slept through most of it on my lap.

Steve was exhausted by the end, since he had to give minute play by play details to Samuel the entire time. I learned a lot about football, that way, though. And they were so cute.

One disappointment: the Stanford Marching Band. I've heard so much about them over the last few years, I expected to be impressed and entertained. They were very small, and not particularly good. I guess their inappropriate antics are to cover up for mediocre music skills?

The bus ride, followed by brunch, followed by the game, followed by the bus ride back home made for a long day. Of course most family members were melting down by the time we got home... still a fun day.
