It's no secret that the males at our house are huge sports fans. On Saturday, my Favorite Boy got to attend his first UT game! Since my Favorite Boy plays sports in the fall, finding time to go to Knoxville is tricky. Dad planned ahead this year and decided to take advantage of Labor Day weekend.

They left home around 11:30 on Saturday and made it to some of the pregame festivities surrounding Neyland Stadium.

At this point, it was around 100 degrees, and they were burning up. Just before game time, a thunderstorm passed through, delaying the game and soaking everyone. The temperatures dropped, and they spent a good portion of the game wet and cold. It was quite a turnaround!

My Favorite Boy was especially excited to have good seats in the lower level, but he was surprised that everyone sat on bleachers. I think he prefers the single seats at the Titans' stadium, but the atmosphere at a college game can't be beat. His says his favorite part was when a UT player made a long run and the stadium "exploded." I guess that's probably a good description of what 100,000+ crazy fans sound like.

So glad my boys were able to enjoy this fun trip. Thankfully, I was well enough to take care of my Best Girl, but I am still on the mend. My fever is gone, but my throat still hurts and I have no energy. Today is day seven of my fun viral adventure, so I'll be glad when it comes to an end!
