Coleman's (and Jeff’s!) First Bowl Game

On Sunday January 1, 2011, Jeff, Coleman, Tyler, Laura, Justin and I headed out to the TicketCity Bowl at the Cottonbowl in Dallas.
It was COLD.
The stands were NOT packed, but both teams were represented surprisingly well (especially surprising was the amount of people in purple, supporting Northwestern, which is in Chicago!)

Originally Jeff and I bought tickets for us, Cole, Shelby, Tyler, and Laura.  Then when we saw the forecast we thought we better leave the kids at home with Nonnie or someone.  Shelby was all for that, but Coleman through a fit.  He HAD to go to the Texas Tech football game!!  Shelby stayed with Millie and Luke for the morning, and made cookies with Uncle Luke (thanks guys!!)

We walked in and found ourselves some great seats.

Coleman was really good, with plenty of room to run around.  For how cold it was, I was amazed at how well he lasted- to the END of the game!

Did I mention I was cold?  I was wearing a pair of ankle socks and canvas shoes.  Jeff gave me his socks to double-up.  Now that’s true love, right?! haha!

Most of the people at the game were smarter than us.  They sat in the SUN.  See the perfect shadow/crowd line???

However, Jeff didn’t want to give up our “40 yard line” seats to sit in the end zone.

We had a GREAT time cheering on the Red Raiders to victory!

After the game, Coleman got to sit on this red raider motorcycle.  He loved it, but his little eyes are so very sensitive to the sun that they will hardly even open up out in bright sunlight.  You can see in the second picture he does have his little gun up!
