Today was a big day for Will and Daddy. On Friday afternoon, Daddy found out he had two free tickets to the UCF football game on Saturday, so no planning and the two were off for a big adventure. Daddy was scheduled to work tailgating before the game so the day started early. Will followed Daddy around for most of the morning and helped him make sure none of the "big kids" were misbehaving. Luckily that part of the day went by quickly, and the pair were off to Will's first college football game by mid-afternoon. The seats were free so of course they were at the top of the stadium. Honestly, it was almost better because at the top of the stadium the two pretty much had the whole row to themselves. As is the case with Will most of the time, he didn't have a lot to say, but he was pretty clear about when and of what Daddy should be taking pictures, so I guess that means he liked some of it. The teams weren't really that important, but Will decided he was pulling for the Gold team (luckily that was UCF). The outcome of the game didn't put a damper on the day, but if you are wondering, UCF lost 17 to 6.
Mid-way thru the third quarter, Will heard the P.A announcer mention something about a basketball game, so of course he was intrigued. Daddy found out UCF Men's basketball team was having their intersquad scrimmage, "postgame madness" they were calling it. It was free and on the way back to the car so Daddy agreed. At the end of the football game the two were off to the arena for another sporting adventure. This time the seats were first come first serve so we got a lot closer to the action, until some tall and very fat man chose the seats directly in front of the very short and very skinny Will so we decided to move up to secure a better view. We stayed and watched about 15 minutes of the action, and decided it was time to head home. Will was asleep before we arrived home, and Daddy was not far behind. This was truely a special day!
