Drool, Stickers, and Football

We arrived in NE on Friday afternoon at 4pm, unpacked at Great-Grandma Hohlen's house, ate a quick meal with her and then headed back out to Grammie and Grandpa Hohlen's house to catch a ride with them to Holdrege for Uncle Biff's football game.  Up to this point, Natalie had been in the car all day on Thursday, and from 10-4 on Friday, so an hour drive to Holdrege was not all that appealing to her.  When we reached our destination, I took her out of her car seat while Gpa Hohlen searched for the football field in town.  A little fresh air was all Natalie needed!

What you can't see is that Natalie was drooling quite a bit, and like a puppy, there was drool all over the rear part of the window to the left.  Adorable!

Well, we finally arrived at the football field and made our way to the bleachers.  Natalie was antsy, so I decided to take her out in the grass and let her crawl around for a while.  After a bit of exercise she got distracted by some nearby gravel and wanted to eat it, so I picked her up and headed back to the bleachers instead.  To my surprise, this little lady was COVERED in stickers.  There were even a couple in her hands.  I felt like a horrible momma!  A quick pull and change of clothes, and she was feeling much better.  Too bad I didn't have my camera extra handy for that moment.

The football game went really well.  Halftime was probably Natalie's favorite.  She loved the color guard's flags and the movement of the marching band.  Uncle Biff played awesome, aiding the Adams Central Patriot's to a shutout against the Holdrege Dusters...28-0!  Way to go Biff!

Here is Natalie with her favorite player on the field!
