Last Saturday, my mom, dad, & I took the kids to their first Aggie game! Randy left the night before for one more hunting trip and I was trying to decide what to do. I realized that the Aggie basketball team had a game at noon on Saturday, so mom & dad said let's go! Early Saturday morning, after quickly washing their A&M clothes, we headed to College Station. The first half of the game went great. The kids were pretty interested and liked all the lights. Wow, games sure have changed alot since I used to attend every single home game 10 years ago. I guess a successful basketball program will do that for you. They have stats on all these scoreboards at all times. Plus a great sound system. Since it is Christmas break for the students, we got half price tickets which made them only $5 a piece. We sat behind the backstops, it what is usually the student section. Even with all the students at home, there was a decent crowd. Not full by any means, but still as many people at the game as we used to have for a regular Big 12 game. That definitely made me smile!
The Ags won the game real easily! But it was a great time to teach Riley a little basketball terminology and let him see some dunks.
After the game we drove around campus to see what all has changed. The MSC is under MAJOR construction and is closed until 2012! Then they added this new building in the area that used to be a parking lot by the drill field. All in all it was a great trip down there. We even did a little shopping to get Riley a new jersey and Alex a new Aggie dress for next football season.
Then we had to check out the new Aggie Ring behind the former student building. I just wish Randy had been with us to be in the picture.
Another new sculpture. We have the Benjamin Knox print of this above our bed in our bedroom.
We had a great trip, but unfortunately Alex did not eat much throughout the day. I knew this was not a good sign. I had taken both kids in to the doctor on Thursday with sinus issues. Sure enough both kids had a sinus infection and were put on antibiotics. I guess they did not work because Saturday night neither kid slept real well. Riley woke up with an ear ache and Alex woke up running fever.

So Monday morning, Mom took them back to the doctor for me. This time they both had an ear infection and Alex came home with a breathing machine. This is horrible. She hates it. The first day we had to do a breathing treatment every 3 hours including during the night. I was exhausted on Tuesday. Plus poor Mom & Dad had to keep the kids on Monday & Tuesday. So then life returned to normal on Wednesday, back to the babysitter after 2.5 weeks. Poor Alex did not want to go. She cried & cried. Today I was supposed to take her back to the doctor for a follow-up, but instead we woke up to ice, school closed, and doctor closed. Oh well!
