Game Day

Caleb, Luke, and I traveled to Waco on Saturday to see the Baylor Bears vs A&M Aggies. Luke had been looking forward to this day for weeks! He has been to a Baylor football game, but never a home game so he was excited to finally get to see all of the cool things Baylor has to offer.
First things first... gotta see the mascots. Judge Joy & Judge Lady! In the picture above they are snuggled up behind Luke.

We walked around the campus a little, showed Luke Caleb's old dorms, went to the bookstore to stock up on shirts then headed to Floyd Casey Stadium to tailgate.


The night before we left Pearland, Luke asked if we could paint his face for the game. I guess he sees the people on TV doing it, so he wanted to be able to do it too. Why not? We got him that cool bear paw at the bookstore.


Luke's Best Bear Face!


March of the Bears is a new tradition we had not ever been able to be a part of. A few hours before each home game. The fans line up to cheer for the football players as they arrive to the stadium. Luke got to high five all of his favorite Baylor Bears! So cool!


As much as Luke enjoyed seeing the real mascots, he wanted to see Bruiser more. Thankfully he was hanging out at the tailgate shooting all of the Aggies with a water gun so we snatched him for a quick picture.


What? A Baylor Football Helmet bouncy????? NO WAY!


So much fun for this little guy!


He even got to meet some cheerleaders! Super cool!

When Caleb and I lived in Waco we met this awesome couple Nicki & Brent who have remained our close friends. We met them out at the tailgate and their son Tristan hit it off with Luke so they played together the whole time.


Mommies with the boys!


Another new tradition is that the Baylor Line forms a line for the players to run out onto the field through. Love it!


Even though the Bears lost the game all three of us had a great time. It was so much fun to see Luke get to experience his first Baylor home game. He loves the Baylor Bears and was just as excited about being there as we were. It was also fun to get to spend some one on one time with our big boy!
Sic 'Em Bears!
