H and K, this weekend you went to your first football game!

Texas Tech played Oklahoma here in town, so when mom got free tickets from the bank, we just couldn’t turn it down.

It was a little cold and the game didn’t start until 7:00 PM, but we braved it anyway and went.

We parked on the sixth floor of the tall parking garage across the street and walked across the walkway over Marsha Sharp.

Before we made it to our seats we stopped for Coke and popcorn.

You girls are so silly – you always want to stop for Coke and popcorn.

Of course, your favorite parts were seeing the Masked Rider, Raider Red, and participating in all the cheering.

We stayed until the Goin’ Band finished their halftime performance and called it a night.

K, you had fallen asleep in mom’s arms by the time we left.

The only other thing that comes to mind is that an unusual number of OU fans were sitting around us and cheering obnoxiously. I remember thinking that they wouldn’t have gotten away with all that if we had been sitting closer to the student section – there would have been a fight.

H, I carried you in on my shoulders all the way from the car to the stadium – I carried you back out to the car the same way.

On the way out, we stopped and got cotton candy, naturally.

I love you.
