Jack’s first Carolina game

After talking about it for weeks and telling him what to expect, we took our big boy to his first Carolina game!  He LOVED it!  We got to the tailgate a few hours before kick-off, and Jack was a pro. He threw the football with the coolest guy he knows, then the Starnes’ pulled up and Jack found a buddy!  He and Evan could’ve played football for hours! He took a water break and then told a few jokes with his daddy. We didn’t have a full tailgate this time, but we did get to be with a lot of our great friends-my favorite part of tailgating!  We saw Grace and Lucy (Sarah was there too-just missed a picture of her),the Starnes Family (minus Anna),and John Lewis. It was time to head to the game, so Jack hitched a ride.  Mark and I were so excited to show him the Gamecocks!  I can remember getting all dressed up and standing in the student section (the entire game) with my awesome boyfriend, and now we’re bringing our first born with us-how great is that!At first there was so much going on that he didn’t know what to think.He started to warm up,and then was cheering with his daddy!  Uncle Adam even joined us for Jack’s first game-yay!We made it through three and a half quarters, but we had a tired little Gamecock on our hands (whose naptime was smack in the middle of game time), so we headed home.  Before the stadium was out of sight, this little one was snoozing.We had such a great time.  It was a real treat to take Jack to ‘Cocky’s house’ so he could help cheer on the Gamecocks!  And his first game was a huge win-maybe he’s good luck?!  Thanks for keeping Sam, Grandma and Grandpa Thomas.  It’ll be time for his first game before we know it!  Gooo Gamecocks!
