Go, Go, Go BYU

We went down to the BYU football game today.  Enrique and I have been super excited for this day to come.  We told the kids we had a fun day planned but we didn't tell them until they saw where we were and put it together themselves.  Once they realized we weren't going to miss the football game after all and we were going to it, they were ecstatic! 
First, we went to the BYU bookstore to buy everyone shirts.  It was a mad house before the game there.  The kids all chose the same shirts so they could match.  Papi finally found his he had been wanting to buy and I found one too.  We got pom poms too for the girls.  They were super excited to get to go 'in' to BYU because we've always just drove by and told them what we did in the buildings.  This time we showed them things with in that same building.  They want to go bowling there, because Enrique and I would go on dates there.
After the bookstore, they got their shirts on as soon as we got back to the car.  Then we went to the last of the pregame events in the parking lot across from the stadium.  We missed most of it.  Only 3 vendors were open still so we got in line and we were the very last people to be in line.  We got free beanie hats and little bags the kids can wear on their backs.  They were super excited about that, not that they got hats and bags that said BYU on them but that they were FREE!  hahaha (I'm training them good, right?!)
Next it was time for the game.  We had great seats.  We were real close to the field.  The girls were all into the game and having fun.  Lili on the other hand, was completely into the game.  She didn't leave Enrique's lap until half time and was yelling loudly, "GO, GO, GO!"  when it was appropriate to do so.  She also would do the sign for 'first down' and after each touchdown the band would play the usual song and then Lili would do the right arm movements that went along with the touchdown song.  It was hilarious.  It was awesome!  Enrique was so proud.  You should have seem him beaming, his 1 year old completely undistracted watching the football game with him.  It was sweet!  We all had a blast. Thanks Papi for a great family outing!  (BYU won 56-3 over Idaho State.)
