Madison and I took Jesse's wife, Tina to the game on Saturday. (For those of you who don't know or need a reminder....after all his family is confusing....Jesse is Will's brother). Tina wasn't too sure about going and tried to give me some excuse about not knowing much about football, little did she know but I wasn't backing down! She had never experienced a college football game and I knew she would love it.
We started at a tailgate where my friend/client Andy was flippin' burgers. We walked into the stadium just in time to hear the National Anthem and see the Stealth Bomber do a fly-over. That's always cool to see...gives me chills every time!
I think Tina was impressed with the loyalty of the fans and all of the craziness surrounding the game. I was impressed that I still could remember all of the songs and cheers from my good ol days. (and yes, I do sing Old Missouri loud and proud, did you expect anything less). There's nothing like being in the middle of the crowd and jumping to your feet as a touchdown is made and hearing the cannon explode.
Or hearing the roar of the crowd as they chant MIZ ZOU in unison....it's just exciting!!
We shared smiles, giggles and love. Thanks Tina for going to the game with us. I hope you had as much fun as we did.
Ok, for some reason Madison decided to
take shelter under my poncho??? Plastic bag over kid's head...not good. I'm surprised I wasn't
arrested.

love your Blog... love the pictures! As we cheer the Gators... a little part of me is saying... go Tigers! On that note.. this mom in my ( Abby's)class grew up here in Naples, but went to Mizzou and met her husband there and since have moved back to Naples, but knew Claire! Gonna totally ask her if she knew you! her name was Mary Babb, now Mary Sundall, her dad actually played for the Dolphins back in the day! Crazy small world!
