Another First For Ava

Ava went to her first KState football game!!  This was definitely one of those things on my "I can't wait to take Ava here" list.  I've been dreaming of taking my child to KState football games for so long.  For us KState Football not only means cheering on our favorite team but it always means time with family, tradition, tailgating, eating, games, weekends in Manhattan, and lots of great memories.  

Ava did really well at her first game.  We went a couple hours early to tailgate with family.  It was a HOT first game with temperatures near 100 degrees.  So we all huddled in the shade as best as we could.  Ava didn't seem too bothered by the heat though.  And luckily it was an evening game, so shortly after kickoff the sun went down.  Ava loved the dancing and clapping and cheering during the game.  She went back and forth between her grandparents, uncle, and us for entertainment.  Ava and I made a couple trips down to the grassy hill to let her run around for a while but both times she cried and threw a fit the whole way down...she did not want to leave!!  But she clearly needed some room to run around.   After the game we enjoyed some fireworks and then she was asleep within 2 minutes of being in her carseat.
