Once we got down by the stadium we got to see the marching band (kind of) and we walked around the tailgating areas and let the kiddos see what being a Hawkeye is really all about and enjoy the atmosphere of tailgating on Hawkeye game days. I'm sure they'll have many years of tailgating Hawkeye style ahead of them, so it is fun to start them early. We did this last year too, so we are making it an annual tradition.
The guys (Chris and Alan) ended up scalping tickets so they went to the game while Sara and I walked the kids around the stadium. Let me tell you though, Carver was NOT a happy camper when he realized that daddy and Uncle Alan went to the game without him. Everytime we passed an entry gate he tried to go in and as we were watching the game on the big screen from outside the stadium someone walked by asking if anyone needed tickets and Carver turned right around and said "Yeah!"
Sara and I eventually took the kids back to their house for naps and playtime until the guys got back. Then we enjoyed some more time hanging out and having some great food.
The cousins all play together so well and really have a great time when they're together, we were sad to have to leave, but what a great day! We are so blessed to have them live so close by.

Great time had by all, now if we can just start playing well and get a few wins under our belt we'll be very happy Hawkeye fans!
