Grandsons and Football Games

Six weeks ago, our oldest grandson, Ty, told us he had received a nice bonus at work and that he wanted to use some of it to treat Grams and Papaw by taking us to the OU vs TX game at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas on October 11. Wow! We were thrilled and excited and enthusiastically accepted the invitation.


Here are Paul and Ty sitting in one of the buildings at the TX State Fair. We arrived so early we had to find some places to find drinks and food and to sit down and rest awhile. We left the motel at 6:30 am, had breakfast, and headed over to the Cotton Bowl, parked, and were walking in at 8 am. We found ESPN's Game Day and stood and yelled and laughed and stayed until the telecast started. We left that huge crowd to find a resting place before going into the stadium.


Not sure why Ty is frowning when he has his picture taken with me. Hmmm... Maybe it was because Papaw had to try twice to take the picture, and Ty's not the greatest fan of having his picture taken although he was very gracious.

We had so much fun. Best of all was the one-on-one time with our 25-year-old grandson who is smart, good-looking, and just a pleasure to be with. He knows so much about everything!! We had fabulous seats at the game; it was a perfect weather day; and everything was so much more than we could have even hoped for. Except that, of course, we lost. Bummer! Otherwise a perfect and fun day!
