Buckeye Game

I haven't written for a while so I thought I'd start back up again. Today I took Kaiya and Kaden with me up to Columbus for the Ohio State Buckeye spring game, where they play against themselves. We went with Jeremy (Isaiah's cousin) and his wife, Lauri. It was the first time that I have ever been myself to a college football game and an obvious first for the kids. First off, we parked way out in lalaland so we had to hike what seemed liked MILES!! If it weren't for the 88* sun beating down, wearing flip-flops, and chasing a 2-yr-old it would have been an alright walk. I am VERY proud of Kaden because he walked the entire way, minus about 50 feet. When we finally got to the stadium, we were on C deck and ended up having to go up what seemed like 30 flights of very STEEP stairs. Mind you at this point I was carrying a 35 pound toddler who is over half my size!!! After making it to the top of the stadium (yes, the very top) both Kaiya and Kaden were tired, hot, and EXTREMELY cranky. They both were bored and wanting to go home. So probably after 10 minutes of them whining and crying Jeremy said it was cool if we left. After carefully climbing back down the "30 flights" we met up with Ricky (Isaiah's other cousin) and his little boy, Alex. We left and made the trek back to the car and somehow made a detour. Too make an even longer story short, we made it to a gas station to get water, rehydrated, and made it safely home! Both kids managed to fall asleep in the car. Too bad I wasn't able to! If I am ever to do this activity again, I will be sure to wear comfortable shoes and leave the kids at home!! Thanks Jeremy and Lauri for inviting us!
