My mom was so sweet and sent new BYU shirts with my dad for our family. We wore our new shirts to the game. Emmy was very disappointed that she didn't have a bow that matched her outfit as well as she wanted.
We had to drive about a hour and a half to get to the game. When we got to the stadium, we had a few hours to appreciate the atmosphere before the game. We spent time in the "Grove" at the Ole' Miss campus where everyone tailgates before the game. It was quite a sight.We also were invited by a gentleman to see the the Ole' Miss "M Club." It was great to go in and see the heritage of football at the school. Also, we were able to use a clean restroom and enjoy some AC.
Before the game started, we got some lunch from a subway stand before we headed into the football field. Hyrum was very anxious to get in the stadium. He didn't want to miss anything!
The day turned out to be cloudy and not too hot for a Southern September afternoon. It was still hot enough that we needed to buy drinks. Large drinks (we still have the cups which are a big hit at our house). Emmy loved eating the ice in the drinks.
I love the atomsphere at football games. I love hearing the band play and watching the cheerleaders. The game ended up being a great close game with BYU winning.
Hyrum loved every minute at the game and would ask many questions. He especially loved going to the game with Papa. Hyrum was constantly giving my dad loves and hugs even though the weather was a little hot to be comfortable cuddling. 
Even after the game, Hyrum still talks about the game in detail. It is so cute!Ben liked the game, but wasn't as enthralled with it as Hyrum was.
Emmy was tired and fell asleep in Brandon's arms and slept most of the second half.
We were so lucky that my dad took us to the game. We loved every minute! It was the perfect way to end my dad's trip to Memphis. Thanks again Dad!
