Carolina Football

WOW! Stryker is one lucky guy! He got to attend his very first USC Football game today! Aunt Lorie was able to get tickets for the Furman/USC game. It was also Military Appreciation Day so there were some very special moments as well. 

We headed out early for Columbia after a quick breakfast at Waffle House. We met up with Aunt Lorie, Peyton and Maddison and headed to the stadium and game time! The boys were pretty excited as we walked up to Williams Brice and to find our seats. We were alllll the way up top and they hung in there for the climb. We found our seats just in time to hear 2001 and see Cocky appear and the players run out. Stryker was super excited for Cocky!


 Stryker's First USC Game

My nephew is something else... He's quite the hoot! He spent the first two quarters of the game eating all our snacks! LOL! Near the end of the second quarter, he looks at Lorie and says "Mom, when's the game going to start?" We all busted out laughing at that one. It wasn't exactly a fast moving or exciting game, so his question was very valid! 


 Little Miss stayed snugly warm close to Mommy. She was a trooper for the game and I didn't hear a peep out of her the whole game. I think she was intrigued by her new surroundings.

The Honour's





I LOVE Military Appreciation Football Game days. What a very special halftime show the USC Marching Band put on! They also invited the bands from the different branches of military to play as well. It was so touching. They honored injured soldiers, veterans and those active duty members that are currently serving. I surely enjoyed every minute of the entire halftime show and I think the boys did as well! The best part, a fly over to end the show. They REALLY loved that!




We had such a good time and I can't wait to take my little man to Death Valley to see the Tigers play. But in the meantime, our little Gamecock couldn't have been happier that day! Thanks to Aunt Lorie who made it happen!
