First Football Game

Daddy and I went to my first football game yesterday!  Iowa vs Eastern Illinois.  It was awesome



We started the day with Game Day Pancakes, of course!  They were yummy.  Do you like my Stanford hat? That's mommy's school!



We rode the train to the game.  We picked up the train near Grammie's new townhouse in Coralville- parked there and walked to the train.  Then we got on, sat in the top part on a daddy-Sophie seat.  It was fun!



We sat in our seats for the game.  I couldn't see much because all the hawkeye fans were standing and cheering the whole time.  We ate a pretzel, stawberry lemonade, and water.

After the game, we took the train back home with one tired daddy and one happy Sophie.  All the other Hawkeye fans were tried, but happy since they won 37 -7.  Penn State comes to visit in a few weeks- GO HAWKS!

First, however, we are going to Minneapolis to see USC vs Minnesota and play with Aunt Jenny, Unca Mike, Dad-dad, Boppy, mommy, and GranMimi!

Another generation of the cutest football fans ever! What a great start to the football season for Iowa, Minnesota and PENN STATE!!! Unca Mike and Aunt Jenny can't wait to see you; guess what you get to see cousin Kate (another adorable football fan - go Gophers!!!) and Mikie and Emily. Ada is going to miss seeing you, but October is just around the corner.
