High School Football Games

We have gone to a couple of high school football games the past couple of weeks. Brad and our neighbor Tim decided it would be a fun idea to go to a football game at each of our high schools. Taylorsville for me, Olympus for Nikki, Highland for Tim, and Copper Hills for Brad. Since Brad didn't go to high school here we decided we would go to the high school that all of the kids in our ward go to. Last week we went to the Copper Hills game because it was their homecoming game. Then last night we went to the Highland game. Both games were a lot of fun. It brought back a ton of memories of being in high school. But also how annoying high school kids can be :) Cooper really enjoyed being in that atmosphere with the music and all of the people. It would have been a nightmare however if Cooper wasn't walking. He was all over the place and would have been so dirty had he been crawling.

Before each game we had to go to the place where all the high school kids ate before the games when we were in high school. So for the Copper Hills game we started at Five Guys. Since none of us went to Copper Hills we just picked somewhere random :)

Then we were off to the Copper Hills game. Since it was homecoming and a rivalry game it was packed. I think this made it more exciting and fun. It was cool because we saw a lot of the youth in our ward. Nikki and I are both in Young Womens so it was nice because we know all of the youth in our ward.

Cooper did really well for the first little bit but then he got restless and wanted to explore. We took him and let him wander around. It was freezing but he didn't mind one bit. It was a blow out so we left during the 3rd quarter which was good because Cooper was so tired. It was way past his bedtime.

For the Highland game we started off with eating at the The Training Table. Cooper had not really had a good nap that day so he was really tired. He did not want Brad as you can see. He just wanted mom to hold him. I didn't mind one bit! Brad and Cooper both ended up in jeans and navy polos. It was totally unplanned but funny. This happens all of the time though!

Once we got to the game Cooper was fine. He was now so tired that he had become delirious so everything was hilarious and so fun to him. They were supporting breast cancer awareness. The cheerleaders were decked out in pink and their cheers were even centered around it. One of their cheers was "Mammograms, breast exams, I am the cure". They were cute! They handed out stickers so of course we had to put it on Coop's head. He didn't even notice and left it on the entire time. This game wasn't as packed so we had a lot of room on the bleachers for Cooper to walk around and play on. He had a blast!

We left this game in the 3rd quarter as well. Cooper was getting really tired and ready for bed. Cooper normally goes to bed at 8:00 pm so staying out past then sometimes is a struggle. The second we got in the car Cooper was out! No fussing or anything. It was a relief and made the drive home pleasant.

Going to the games has been a fun Friday night family activity that we can all enjoy. I LOVE football and going to games so it is right up my ally. Good idea Brad!!!
