Shelby did great at her first game! I was nervous at first, because she'd be missing her regular nap and I didn't know how she'd do with a crowd, but our girl is a champ! I don't know why I get so worried when she always adapts wonderfully to new situations and environments. We underestimate her!
We left for Athens in the morning, she snoozed for a bit on the way up there and then once we got there, she was having so much fun taking it all in, she forgot to get tired! We had lunch at our tailgate and she had fun following the older children there and climbing up and down the steps near our tailgate. The game started at 1:00, but we ended up not going into the game until the second quarter and by then people were already leaving, so it wasn't as crowded. We stayed until the beginning of the fourth quarter, and afterwards Shelby instantly fell asleep the minute we got back in the car.
She loved the sights and sounds of the stadium: the band, the people cheering, the fan's program on the seat in front of us, the planes carrying banners over the stadium, the red pompom - she was enthralled with everything! She even clapped when everyone else around her was clapping! It was so adorable and everyone around us commented on the how cute she and her pal Luke were. We had so much fun, we want to take them to another game this year! I could tell she was starting to run out of steam at the end, but she just snuggled quietly on my lap, hugged her blanket and sucked her thumb.
You can see more pictures from the day in the gallery. We capped off the weekend with a trip to the playground at Peachtree Dekalb Airport on Sunday afternoon. What a fun place - and the weather was a perfect fall day!
