the BIG game: a double date

Posted on 1:16 PM by paritory
The idea was that Jim and I were going to go on a date to the BIG game. You know, date? Like, just the two of us. Babysitter for the kids. Hold hands, kiss and act like newlyweds. It would have been awesome. But when no babysitter could be found (partly because a lot of people were out of town, partly because we're kinda still new here and don't have a lot of choices and partly because Evie was just a tad bit sick and it gave me anxiety just thinking about leaving him) we decided to make it a double date.

Yep, that's right. My date was James (although he mostly hung out with Ev). And Ev's date was T (although T and I were cheering buddies). It ended up being the funnest family night we've had in a long, long time. We went to the pre-game fanfest where T jumped in a bounce house, we watched the band dance around like crazy people and everyone and their dog commented on how cute Everett looked in his tree outfit.

We headed over to the game just about 30 minutes early, and ended up with FRONT ROW SEATS in the student section. It was incredible. In the pre-game show 5 members of the army ROTC jumped out of an airplane and glided into the stadium, the last one dressed in full Stanford uniform with game ball in hand. It was amazing and Talmage hasn't stopped talking about it since. Sure, it started raining and it was kind of cold (for California!) but that didn't stop us. We ended up staying until the end of the first half, when we were all drenched and T said, "Uh Daddy. Is cold. We tell Mommy is time to go home!" I begged him to let me see the halftime show, but away we went ;)

Jim and I watched the 2nd half from home after the kidlets went to bed--STANFORD WON! It was a great game. And while I always love alone time with James, there is almost nothing I'd rather do than make special memories with our little fam.


T and Ev, thanks for the double date. Let's do it again sometime!
