Wolfpack Spring Football

On Saturday, before the disasterous weather, we decided to take our chances with the rain and go to the Spring football game at Carter Finley. Isaac loves football, so we thought he would probably enjoy seeing the game in person. We got the field a little after 12 and there was a band (the Embers) playing out in the parking lot. Isaac thought that was so cool to see the guys playing instruments and singing on stage. It actually took some convincing to get him to leave the parking lot so we could go see the game! Once inside the stadium the next attraction that caught his eye was the ambulance parked by the first aid station. We found some great seats on the front row to watch the game. Isaac really enjoyed watching them tackle each other and spent most of the first half begging to go out on the field.

Just after the halftime break, Isaac decided it was time to visit the bathrooms. I don't know if this is true for every parent on a potty trained child, but now that he is potty trained we must visit the bathroom every place we go. So we started up the stairs when he realized that there were letters marking the different rows on the stairs. For the next 10 minutes, we stopped at each letter so he could point at it and tell me what it was. It was pretty cute. We finally made it to the bathroom where he seemed a little disgusted that there was no magic water or magic paper towel dispensers (magic = automatic).

We got back to our seats just in time to have coach call the game due to the incoming weather. The players did come up onto the concourse to meet the kids. Isaac was excited to meet a real football player in uniform. He gave high fives to quite a few of the guys. But by this time it was way past his nap time so he wasn't interested in having his picture made as you'll see below. Lucas on the other hand had decided he was done sleeping and did a good job posing for pictures. We all had a great time enjoying Wolfpack football!
