Hannah's First LSU Football Game

Hannah attended her 1st LSU football game yesterday against Ole Miss. While LSU was beaten pretty badly, we still had a good time with her. We began the day around 9 am with a small campfire and roasting marshmellows. It was a bit chilly in the morning but warmed up nicely in the afternoon. We made it into the game and watched pre-game, which is worth the ticket in itself. Fireworks went off as the Tigers ran onto the field and Hannah was excited. Jason wanted to take some pictures of Hannah holding a sign about Ole Miss (see the slideshow below). Also, Katie and Claire (former Ole Miss Rebelettes) came by to say hi. We took pictures of Hannah, Jason & Katie together.

After kickoff, and only 27 seconds into the game, Hannah told her Daddy she wanted to go home. (It was way past naptime and a sleep was badly needed for our early morning riser). She then began asking to see Nana, who sits one section over. Finally, 5 minutes into the game, Jason brought her to Nana. In the 30 seconds it took him to get back to our seat, she was fast asleep on Nana's shoulder. She remained there until half time. I think Nana enjoyed that more than the game. If you saw the game, you'd understand. It was bad. Our poor tigers look like they have never played the game.

Anyway, in the third quarter Hannah came to life (too bad the tigers didn't). She enjoyed cheering and singing "Hey Baby" as the band played. She definitely was more entertaining than the team. With about 5 minutes left in the game, we decided to leave. It was cold and we were losing by 15 points. Hannah had a good time and we learned that she is no where near ready to attend games routinely. Until she is, we'll keep tailgating and supporting our tigers. As I said earlier, pregame is almost worth it in itself.

Hope you enjoy the slideshow.
