One weekend, we didnt' have anyone to keep Jake, so we decided to tak him with us. He's still free and Mom let ustake Mitch with her second ticket. So...we had all 4 of our boys! We took two cars, knowing that Jake wouldn't last the entire game, and I would leave early with him and maybe Mitch. Again...WRONG!
We tailgated for several hours before the game, which the kids LOVED! Jack and Alex have several frineds who also tailgate in the same lat that we do, so they all played together. They even let Mitch and Jake play with them...they are all such great kids! When it was time, we headed to the stadium, and Gary sat in our seats with ALL FOUR BOYS, and I got to sit with Mom and not have to take care of any kids! (What a hubby, huh?!?) Jake and Mitch both lasted the entire game...and every game after that! Yep...it went so well, that we took all four boys to the rest of the games this season...And decided that we need two more PSLs, since Jake won't be free this next year, and Mom didn't really buy the extra ticket for us to bum every week!
As for tailgaiting, a while back I teased you with a new addition to our tailgate party. For Gary's birthday, his dad (Papa Jack) and brother (Matt) fixed up a smoker (that Papa Jack built) for him. It's absolutely huge...and AWESOME! Of course, I was certain that we couldn't possibly need that much room and would never fill it up...it's just too big! Again...WRONG! I should have know better, huh?
So...in a nutshell, we had a great time tailgating and going to Titans games with the whole family and some great friends. It was a good move, and I'm glad I finally caved...but don't tell Gary! :)
