The Lady Vols!

This picture was taken after the game was over and Parker was ready to get out of there...it's a long time for a kid to sit still...not that he did, but we tried!

Parker sat on Paul's shoulders before the game started and ate Tic-Tacs...as soon as they were gone, he moved on to the next person with food. That's the way he works...if you have food, he will sit with you!!

If you have been reading my blog for more than a few months, you will know that my husband is a huge Tennessee Vols fan. Both sets of his grandparents live in Tennessee, his parents are graduates from the University of Tennessee and Aaron just loves the Vols. I know, he didn't attend the University of Tennessee. He went to the University of Florida, so I guess you could "officially" say that he is a Gator grad. BUT, his blood runs orange...Tennessee Orange. He went to the U of F because it was free (lots of scholarships!!),and if you were just wondering, they have a great engineering department. But, back to the Vols....

Aaron and Grace enjoying the game together.

We have some friends from church and the husband is a UT grad. He looked up the basketball schedule for the Lady Vols months ago....really, like in August, and saw that the Lady Vols were coming down south to Austin to play the Lady Texas Longhorns. We have been planning on it ever since and this past weekend, we all got up on a early Sunday morning and drove to Austin!!

Susie was excited that she finally got some cotton candy!!

The ride was great...our kids were in the car with all the dads and I got to ride in the car with the moms and the teenagers. We had fun talks all the way there and we ate at a great Bar-b-que place called "Rudy's" just outside of Austin. The game was great...the Lady Vols are a super young team this year, coming off of their last year's national championship win and graduating some awesome players. They started 2 freshman and 3 sophomores...so look out next year!!
They stayed with the more experienced Lady Longhorns until about the last 5 minutes of the game and then it was over. Fun game with friends...we will do it again and Parker will stay still for longer next game because he will be older...hopefully!!

Susie loves Mr. Steve...now that is one loyal Tennessee fan...
