This weekend was one that Rudy and I have looked forward to for months! In addition to it being a long holiday weekend, it's finally football season! Mom and Mr. L. came up for the weekend, getting to our house on Friday afternoon. Mom and I picked up BBQ for dinner and we all enjoyed a relaxing evening at home.
On Saturday morning, Rudy and Mr. L. took Caleb to the park. Mr.L. taught Caleb how to talk through the speaker-pipes on the playground. He and Caleb would stand at one end and talk to Rudy on the other end. Apparently, Caleb's favorite thing that Pops taught him to say was, "Hey, Rudy!" While they were at the park, Mom and I went to a store to get some things for Pepapa's upcoming birthday party. When we got back, everyone had lunch and then Caleb and Mr. L. took their afternoon naps.
Around 2:00, Rudy and I got ready to go to the football game. Mom and Mr.L. stayed with Caleb and they had a great time. They went to the Promenade, where Caleb pulled Mr.L. directly into the Build-a-Bear store. They played at the fountain and the playground and then went to Mad Pizza for dinner. After dinner, they went over to Chick-Fil-A for a milkshake and some more playtime. When they got home, they played "baseball game" in the backyard until it was time for Caleb to go to sleep. I was surprised to find Mom and Mr.L. still awake when Rudy and I got home from the ballgame. :)
And on that note...the ballgame almost gave me a stroke. We went to the Alumni house before the game and had a great time people-watching despite the fact that I'm fighting a nasty cold. We ate dinner with Chad and Ronni and then headed over to the stadium. There is always such energy in the air before a Razorback game and I got the chills a few times just from the excitement. This year has a different feel to it - lots of expectation from having a new coach but lots of uneasiness about having such a young team. We lost a lot of key players last year, so the change makes everyone a little anxious. The game was a rollercoaster of emotion. We almost lost to Western Illinois, but managed to win in the end. I am expecting a long, hard football season.
