A Wolfpack Win!

{ I've been trying to post these pictures all week and it's now Friday. My apologies for my tardiness. Two kids. You understand, right?? }

Last Saturday, we went out for another Wolfpack football game. Jackson loves it and was so excited to go back out there! It was a little windy, but other than that, the weather was great. We had club seats again (Thanks, John & Chris), so it was perfect for Kate -- no sun or wind to deal with.

We tailgated for a while with Mamma and Papa and before we went in, we walked through the Fan Zone to see what was going on. We didn't see much the last game, but there's always the chance of running into Mr. Wuf.

Here's Jackson at the football toss... The lady in front of him took a few tries. Jackson...first try! :-)
And here he is collecting his prize!
We didn't see Mr. Wuf this time, but we did catch up with his better half! (Check out the motorized cooler and the jacked up Dodge in the background -- only at NC State!)

However before we found Mrs. Wuf, Mamma did have a little run-in with the Giant Taco. He grabbed Kate's stroller from her and pushed Kate around a bit. Too bad I didn't get a picture of that!




Before the game, Jackson spent a few minutes going over some plays with Papa, in case the Wolfpack needed him to go in.

First, he got a lesson on throwing the ball...
Catching...

Looking deep before you go long...
Making the big run...
And your touchdown dance!!
So as is turned out, the Wolfpack didn't need Jackson this time. He'll be ready when they do though. Freshman Class of 2024, here he comes!
One of Jackson's favorite parts of the game is the band! He loves seeing them march by!
GO WOLFPACK!
We only stayed for the first half b/c we were seriously cutting into Jackson's naptime. This kid loves his sleep! But before we left, we had a chance to hang out with Don & Jen and Swaz & Jenn for a bit. Remember, Jackson loves him some Jen! When he first saw her as we were walking up, he ran to her, arms stretched -- "Jennnnnnnnn!"

Don is apparently already working on being Kate's favorite!!
And this was the first time Swaz and Jenn had met Kate. You know, with them getting married and all! :-)
So as you can see, it was a great day! Especially considering the Wolfpack held Maryland off, 38 - 31. However, what you can't see (since I didn't get a picture) is those two little ones fast asleep in their car seats when we got home. It was only 3:00 or so, but they had both played hard! And we'll be doing it all over again tomorrow! Go Pack!
