Time for Butler homecoming! This year, the game started at 6pm. I was curious to see how everyone would do with a later start time than all the previous times we've gone. And, it was a cool day, too, and I knew it would only get colder as the night came. So, we dragged out the winter coats, some blankets, gloves and handwarmers and made our way to the game.
One thing I like about Butler's homecoming is that is it always easy to find a close parking spot. This year was no different. We parked in the same lot, pretty close to the field and by a bunch of pretty trees with big, yellow leaves. I made an attempt to get a photo of the kids.
The evening start time meant that we had to feed everyone. If I had been more proactive, I would have packed food for the car ride down so we wouldn't have to eat at the game. As it was, we feed the kids there and got scalped by food prices. Yikes!
Everyone likes Cracker Jacks.
It got colder, but only some of us wanted to wear our nice, warm coats. We made it until a little into the third quarter before Kella, especially, and Liam, a little, were ready to go. When we left, Butler was losing and had just let the other team score 2 touchdowns in a row if I remember right. Well, wouldn't you know it?-Butler came back late in the 4th quarter and pulled out a win! Too bad we had to miss it. Hopefully next year, we can stay longer. Hopefully next year, it's a little warmer out, too. Our next goal for Butler sports is to make it to a basketball game this year.
Kella perked up nicely by the time we made it home. She is wearing a blue lei that the cheerleaders handed out to the fans in honor of the BB team going to the Maui Invitational. I think that she thinks she looks awesome in her new blue necklace.
