Clemson Homecoming and Jackson's First Game

We took Jackson to his first Clemson football game today.  (He has been to tailgate, but he has never been to a game.) This was also Uncle Charlie's first Clemson football game.  We decided to look at the floats before heading to the tailgate spot.

I love his first pair of Sperry's!

Then we headed to the tailgating spot.  It was definitely a Griswald event.  We had lots of good food and a wonderful apple spice cake from Holly.  Jackson enjoyed being passed around.

 Then we went to the stadium about 30 minutes before kickoff. We used the Baby Bjourn, and Jackson did well in it.  When we got to the stadium, he sat in Tim's lap just looking around.  I had him by the end of the first quarter.  He was really good, but the noise scared him. He jumped every time he heard the cannon or every time the crowd got really loud. He ate during Half-Time.  Then he slept the entire second half.  It was loud too, and Jackson slept right through it.  Funny how he slept through that, but he wakes up when the door creaks open at home. Jackson woke up for the last 5 minutes of the game and was in the best mood.  He was smiling and talking. He hadn't really slept any all day except for the ride in the car.  I am so glad that Jackson was good during the game. We really like our seats.  This is the first time we have gotten to sit in them.  We even have some friends who sit near us. After the game, we went back to the tailgate and ate again!  Even though we had an exhausting day, it was great taking Jackson to his first Clemson game!

Final Score: Clemson 36 BC 14 -Clemson is now 6-0

"I loved my first game!"

Jackson is exhausted after his football game!
