Game On!

Granddaddy took Tobias (and me) to his first live sports game! We went to two events, a Houston Rockets basketball game and the Texas Bowl, a football game. The basketball game was quite the challenge because it was at night. We were worried that Tobias would fall asleep, but he did not. As a matter of fact he got quite into the game waving his foam finger everytime the Houston Rockets scored and pointing it down everytime the opponent (New Orleans Hornets) scored. I think he had a great time actually. As you can see he also has a Houston Rockets T-shirt....



The football game was in the afternoon and we had great seats, quite close to the field (thirds row) as you can see in the picture. The game of football apparently is not a clear as the game of basketball. Despite the better time of day it was harder to keep Tobias interested throughout the game. He did enjoy the experience, but we spent more time walking around (and to and from the restrooms...) than we did at the basketball game. Of course the football game is much longer too, which may have made a difference, and of course there is more time where there is no play going on...

Anyway, he got his first taste of a live sports event and I am quite convinced he enjoyed it a lot, as did I!
