On Saturday night I took Will to his 1st Nebraska game. It was a 6pm game so we left to head down to Lincoln around 2pm. We finally found a parking spot, sprayed Will's hair red and had some lunch. Will was too excited to eat! We walked around, looked in the busy book store and bought Will some Harry Husker tattoos. We watched the band perform outside the stadium and headed to our seats. I wish I could have taken a picture of his face when he entered the stadium. He immediately sat in the 1st seat in the 1st row and I had to explain to him that we had reserved seats we had to sit in. We headed up to row 11 and sat down.
When the Pledge of Allegiance started and the jets flew overhead, it took Will's breath away. He couldn't believe his eyes. When I put him to bed that night and asked him what his favorite part of his day was, he said "the jets".
We stayed until there were 10 minutes left in the game. Nebraska won 17 -3.
It was one of the best days I have had in a while. Spending a whole day with Will without distractions was wonderful. I was able to focus all of my attention on him. Will is so thoughtful and thankful. He never asks for much and I know that he was excited to have a special day with me.
