Parker's 1st Aggie Game

Yesterday we got to take Parker to his very first Aggie football game!  Cory and I have wanted to take him for a while but the opportunity never came up.  A few weeks ago, some family friends called us and told us they couldn't use their season tickets and wanted us to have them.  I'm not sure who was more excited- Parker or me and Cory! It has been 6 years since we've been back to the A&M campus and it's always great to go back to a place where you spent some of the best years of your life!
 
We had to leave very early yesterday morning because the game started at 11am and we wanted to walk around campus a little before the game. 
We took Parker to the Sul Ross statue and the Century Tree where Cory proposed to me almost 18 years ago.  Then we walked around the newly renovated MSC before finding a spot to watch the Corp of Cadets march in. 
We realized during the march in just how chilly it was that morning and were very thankful we had brought jackets with us!
The newly renovated Kyle Field was awesome!  It is nothing like the Kyle Field we remember from the 90s!
Our seats were great but unfortunately for Parker, they were not in the sun.  He spent the first quarter of the game "freezing to death"!  Luckily, the sun finally hit our seats about half time and he was finally able to comfortably watch the game!

Parker loved watching the Fighting Texas Aggie Band!
The Aggies (barely) pulled out a win so we were able to go home happy!  It was such a special day getting to finally take Parker to Aggieland!  I hope that this will be the first of many to come.  And hopefully we will get to take the girls with us next time.  It's never to early to start that Aggie brainwashing!
