Making Memories


If there's one thing I've learned about mothering, it's more about making memories and providing experiences for your children. Today we had the chance to attend the season opener of the Duke football season. We are die hard NC State fans and hated to shift our allegiance for the day, but how can you turn down free tickets and free food!?!

This was Greta Banks' first time at a football game, and I must say she had a ball. We were able to attend with Ryan's sister and nephew. Ryan's sister is a Duke nurse and it was Employee Appreciation Day. They had yummy "tailgating food," face painting, and "jumpy" castles for the kids. It was extremely HOT but how fun to watch the team, cheerleaders, and band make their way down Duke valley. Greta Banks wasn't too fond of the band...she doesn't care for loud noise. Once in the stadium, she LOVED the cheerleaders and even began chiming in as well yelling, "Go Dookies!" The rain soon settled in and made for even more fun puddle splashing on the way back to the car. Making good memories, right? I know it wasn't a game I'll soon forget, even if it wasn't NC State!!
