Spring Game

Yesterday the Buckeyes had their spring game. During the fall, Eli asked constantly if he could go to a football game and he never got to go. So, this was his last chance to visit the "shoe" and see the Buckeyes in action. It was a father and son day as Sadie and I took naps then went to Whetstone to feed the ducks and fish. It was scarlet v. gray and Eli very excitedly told me when he got home that "the Buckeyes won!!". If you can remember back to 2005, you might recall that Eli did get to go to a football game when he was only a couple of weeks old. He slept through the whole thing. Well, four years later, not much has changed:Dennis said that by the time they got to the game (which was at 1:00, his usual nap time) he could hardly keep his eyes open. You see, Eli likes to get up at 5:45 the same time that his dad does so naps are crucial for making it through the day. Plus, the night before Eli was up late playing with a good friend and he still got up at 5:45. So, that makes for one tired Eli who just couldn't muster the energy to stay awake to watch his beloved Buckeyes. He slept until there was 3 minutes left in the 4th quarter.
He wakes: Gosh, we couldn't even put him in some scarlet and gray:Eli got to see the band which he always love. The football players all walked back to their practice field, which is right next to our house, so Eli got to walk back with them, which he thought was pretty cool.
