For Todd's birthday back in September, Reese gave him a very special gift....two tickets to her very first UA football game!!! Since she doesn't require her own ticket yet, I got to tag along! So we packed up the car and headed north to Seattle (about a 2 1/2 hour drive) to watch a true cat and dog fight....the Huskies of the University of Washington vs. our very own Arizona Wildcats.
Of course, Reese was decked out in her official UA gear and bundled in many layers to avoid the chill off the water right next to the stadium. 4 hours is a long time to ask anyone to sit for a game let alone a 5 month old baby. She really did do great until halftime which happened to coincide with her usual bedtime. After a short temper tantrum, Todd zipped her up inside his fleece jacket and she promptly fell asleep....for the entire second half!
Unfortunately, the points were not in our favor and as is true Arizona sports fashion.....we dropped another game to the opponent. Oh well. It was a heart breaker, but at least we were there!
