Liberty football

Well today we did something that we have not done in a long time-went to a Liberty football game! They played CSU today and we have been hounded by the alumni association to attend the game, so we thought we would go and let the boys experience a live football game! Well, all I can say is it was a lot different than going to a game as a single in college!

Memories of football at LU are actually not many; in fact I would usually skip them! Basketball I went to, but football was not as big of an interest for me. LU had a much better basketball team anyway than football back then! But I do remember that most of the games were much cooler than today! And the stadium did not have portajohn's for the visiting team!

Today's memories were much different. First we were late because we wanted to see the Disney train first. Then we had a SLOW walk from the parking lot because Camden did not want to hold my hand. After hiking to the top of the bleachers, we sat down and started watching the game. Well, I actually started helping Camden color! Then Nathan started complaining about being hot and thirsty. I persuaded him to wait until Dave arrived to get a drink (did I mention that Dave was late due to work and it was just me with the boys!). Then Camden dropped a marker through the bleachers; I was going to wait to get it, but Nathan leaned over to look for it and dropped his glasses! (we were 2nd from the top!) So we went down to get the glasses and the marker. Since we were down, we got the drinks and headed back up. After sitting down for maybe 5 minutes, Camden informs me that he needs to go potty. We get situated in the portajohn and I had to hold him up over the hole since everything was slightly nasty! He didn't like dangling, so I have him stand on the seat and aim. No luck that way either, and after visions of dropping him in the blue yuck, I give up and hope he doesn't have an accident (which he didn't!).

Things get better after Dave arrives. Camden started cheering between coloring and laying on my lap! And Liberty wins!! Yeah! In two years we may go to the LU vs CSU game again! Need to make more memories! And it has to get easier!
