THAT'S THE WAY WE SPELL THE BEST,
THE BEST,
COUGARS ARE THE BEST
GO COUGS!
Friday morning {6 a.m. YIKES!} we packed into our car and headed over to Pullman, WA
to visit WSU and cheer on the Cougs in their first home game of the season.
Our last trip to Pullman was in 2008 when Alli was 18 months old,
and we decided it was time to get all three of the little fish over there.
While the 5 hour drive is never fun, the kiddos did a remarkable job, yeah for DVDs!
On the drive over, they watched McKenna (new American Girl movie) twice,
as well as Toy Story and Peter Pan. They did not sleep at all!
Poor Luke was exhausted but didn't give into sleep until the evening.

The weather was fabulous ~ sunny and 80s ~ and the kiddos loved WSU.
Looks like we now have three CITs {i.e. Cougs in training}
Meeting Butch T Cougar was a huge highlight of the trip!
So was ice cream at Ferdinand's ~ we had to go there twice.
Mommy wised up by the second trip and ordered Eli his own shake
since he and Luke polished mine off the first day ;-)
All three munchkins also enjoyed some "Cougar treats" that Mommy and Eli made before our trip.
{red rice krispy treats dipped in mint dark chocolate}
Another highlight was seeing Nathan and Brent, who Eli has informed us are his very best friends!
Nathan and Brent were over visiting a friend and were kind enough to make time
to play with the kids, who loved every minute of it!
Of course, the biggest highlight of the trip was watching the Cougs win their first home game!
Eli was so excited to see some Cougars, as he had spent the whole trip looking for Cougars ;-)

Although he had a few meltdowns during the game, he did pretty well and LOVED the binoculars.
Alli was the perfect little cheerleader for the Cougs & very concerned about any player who appeared hurt.
Even Luke got into cheering for the Cougs and practicing his "touchdown" pose!
By the end of the game, poor Luke was done for . . .
Kept sleeping even when I put him in the car seat.
The long day did not wear out Eli, who was full of energy on the walk back to the car and had to stop to do some tumbling in the grass with Daddy before catching a ride on Daddy's shoulders.
We are exhausted but had a fabulous trip and are already looking forward to the next one!
So much fun! I'm gonna dream about Ferdinands now. Best ice cream on the planet. And so darn cheap. My favorite is the peppermint, but they didn't have it my last trip in June. I'm hoping to talk the hubby into swinging by when we head over to Lewiston in October. Of course, good ice cream is not a hard sell in this family!
ReplyDeleteI just checked out your photo album. It looks like you had a fabulous time in Pullman. What adorable pictures! It's obvious from the expressions on everyone's face that the long road trip was definitely worth it. So glad you had such a great time.
