Trip to Austin - Part 1


Labor Day weekend, we took a trip to Austin for the opening game of the 2011 Longhorn football season! Gigi was in Austin for a wedding, so we thought it would be fun to meet her there & go to the game. Brave, huh?! Taking a 1 year old to a game. But it was AWESOME!!

Here we are trying to get a cute pic in our burnt orange before we left...


On the shuttle bus, on our way to campus.


We spent about an hour and a half at the Alumni Center before the game. Carter was the hit of the party - running around like crazy, playing in the dirt, with the leaves, you name it!


These next three pictures are sequential...Carter trying to put his horns up. So adorable! First pic - putting his hand up like Mommy.


Second pic - hand still up, trying to figure out what all these people are doing!


And finally, success! (Yes, I know, his horns aren't REALLY up). But he's 1! And when you tell him to "put his horns up!" this is what he does now. Cutest thing ever!!


View from our seats, hiiiiiiiigh up (and some other random pics). We didn't want to spend a lot on our tickets, when we weren't sure if we'd be there 1 minute, 1 quarter or what!


Pics on the bus ride home. We made it in our seats for a whole half!! Carter was an angel. But since it was already after 9, we decided to leave at halftime. He needed to get to bed :)


Gigi took Carter back to the hotel for bed, and Tim and I hit up Trudy's for some yummy Mexican food & drinks!


We had to drive by the tower on the way back to the hotel..lit up orange to symbolize the Horns win over Rice 35-9. Hook 'em!
