how 'bout those Hawkeyes?!

We had a great time cheering on the Hawkeyes to their big Orange Bowl win! Our little guy was all decked out in black and gold - and made it until half time.

We discovered that his preferred "tailgating"/game watching munchie is caramel corn - he loved it (and it probably helped him stay awake as long as he did - you can see remains of his treat in the pic below).

We watched the big game with friends in a super cool home theater, complete with stadium seating.

Braden was in awe of the big screen, and loved stomping his feet (a favorite activity these days) to the fight song. He also threw up his arms for "touchdown!" (which of course I did not get any pics of).

Sugar high wearing off later in the game . . .

Way to go Hawkeyes!
