First Football Game of the Season!

(and Meera's first football game ever)...
Lehigh vs. Princeton
*
Readers of this blog who have been reading for a long time will remember Kyle and Owen's LOVE of Marching Bands. We made it to the game with plenty of time for following the Lehigh Marching Band around the parking lot for a good while. This is a favorite for K & O. It is now a favorite for their baby sister too!
*
Princeton's Marching Band was there today too. And the competing Marching Bands put on quite a show in the parking lot! The boys are still totally unselfconscious about marching around with them. It is quite a sight.
*
Lehigh puts on a good production for home games. Pre-game was a blast! Among lots and lots of fun things they got to do, the boys got to jump 'till their hearts' content...
*
Chat it up with the LU Mountain Hawk...
*
And a special highlight this time... they got to see (and go inside!) a University of Pennsylvania helicopter. (the helicopter later did a fly over when the game started). Seeing the helicopter was all very cool...
*
And "LU" face painting of course! GO Lehigh!
*
We always have the best seats in the house.
*
Touchdown!!!
*
After the game the boys went down on the field and got to spend some quality time with their two favorite players, the awesome Jaren Walker (their coach from summer Sports Camp), and the superstar Matt Cohen. Both of these guys just happen to be in my class this semester, so the boys are assured to get the V.I.P. treatment! ;)
*
Speaking of after the game... Meera was totally conked out as soon as her body hit the carseat!
*
At home tonight after dinner the boys were playing "football" in the kitchen. Owen was Jaren Walker and Kyle was Matt Cohen. They played and played and played. Before conking out in bed themselves.
*
Oh, Lehigh lost to Princeton... but we had such a great time today.
