Marleigh's First Football Game!

When we heard that the KSU game against Miami was an 11:00 kickoff, we decided it would be the perfect game to take Marleigh to.  We dropped Kade off with Gigi, repainted Marleigh's fingernails purple to match her cheerleading outfit (she insisted), and headed to Manhattan Friday evening.  We stayed at Aunt Myra's.  Aunt Rina and Uncle Dave came over to hang out as well. 

Daddy got up really early Saturday morning to get to the parking lot.  We joined him around 8:00.  Marleigh was such a good little tailgater.  She ate her breakfast, danced, read books, and was just generally awesome! 

Initially, I think she was a little overstimulated with everything going on inside the stadium.  After the first touchdown she said, "Why is everyone going  so crazy?  Daddy is very happy right now!"  She watched part of the first half, then read books.  I think it wasn't as exciting to her as the constant action of the basketball game we took her to last winter.  Our seats are on the west side, on the 40 yard line, 7 rows up.  The sun was beating down on us, and we weren't getting any breeze.  At all.  It was HOT.  Marleigh never complained once.  At hafltime, I decided to take her back out to the parking lot and sit under Daddy's work tent.   I didn't want her to get too hot.  She was very well behaved, but I think we'll probably wait a year or two before taking her back again. 

So excited to go to the game!
