spring fever

On Saturday morning, we got up and convinced E to skip her dance class so we could head to Charlottesville for the Spring Football game. She was a bit hesitant, but even the strongest willed of 4 year olds can't resist the siren's call of The Orange Birginya and a reason to wear a cheerleader's outfit. After doping the kids up with dramamine, off we went.

We had Bodo's on The Corner for breakfast and then headed to Mincer's where A finally got her own cheeleader outfit. Then we walked down the Lawn toward the stadium...all the while telling the girls that this is where they will go to school in a few years when they were bigger (it's always good to start 'em young).

The Spring Game had all sorts of children's activities set up, so the girls had a blast on the moonbounce, getting their faces painted, and getting balloon sabres made. Then we headed into the stadium to watch the team play for a bit. Once the food (cotton candy for E, ice cream for A, popcorn for both) ran out (or got knocked over, in the case of the popcorn), the girls were ready to head out. We stopped by Feast! for a quick late lunch, and then headed back home. We played outside for a while longer, and then hit the hay with no protest whatsoever.

 

Qutie simply, it was a fantastic way to spend a glorious spring day.
