Papa comes to town

A couple weeks ago my dad came to visit us. Both him and my mom were suppose to come out, but a few days before they were to come my mom got pneumonia and was too sick to come. So my dad made the long boring drive out here by himself. We were sad that my mom couldn't come, but we were happy to have my dad here for a while. Since my dad hasn't been here since he helped move us out here over 2 years ago and was only here for a day really I thought I better take him to see a few things.

Of course one of the top things on our list to do was to go on a tour of the Husker Football Stadium. It was impressive to see how pretty much they treat their football players like movie stars or something. They have the finest equipment and locker rooms and a whole indoor football field to train on, etc, etc. It was pretty dang cool! My favorite part was at the end when they let you out onto the football field.

Carson wasn't sure what to think of the field.

Go Big Red!!

The stadium itself is amazing! It holds over 85,000 people! And believe me when you are at a game it's insanely loud!

Speaking of the Huskers, my Dad and I got to go to a Huskers football game against Kansas. This is actually the first time I've been to a game since we've lived here.-I know, it's pathetic right. Well we went to a night game with our friends Matt and Traci and had a blast. Even though it was freezing cold it was so much fun to be able to experience going to a home game here. I've been to lots of other college football games before, but I've never seen anything like this. Just so cool! Then I wound up standing next to a drunk girl and her three drunk friends. This girl was twice my size and fell on me more than once because she couldn't stand up for the life of her because she was so wasted. Then every few minutes she'd think I was her best friend and get right in my face and say "Go big red girlfriend!" and try to give me high-five. Needless to say it made things even more entertaining.

In this picture I have my coat pockets stuffed with things to keep me warm like gloves, a hat, more gloves, and many other things. So that's why my coat is bulging out everywhere.

The game was definitely the highlight of my dad's visit here, but we did a few other fun things. One day we went to Omaha and hung out at the Old Market where we walked among the bricked streets in and out of cute little shops and had lunch. The rest of the time we spent just relaxing and hanging out. Carson LOVED having his Papa around. He thought it was pretty great to get to hang out and play with him all day. I'm sure he wonders where he went when he left. So thanks Dad for coming out and visiting! We loved having you here and miss you already! Love you!

Of course I have to add a few more pictures of my little man. He's become quite the busy little tyke.

Blurry picture, but a cute smile anyway. Carson loves standing next to anything, especially his little car parking garage thing.

He also loves getting into my pots and pans cupboard. I pick up and put these away at least 10 times a day. I'm sure it's more, but I usually loose count.
