Aggie Game Day

John's alma mater welcomes you!

You see, Texas A&M is notoriously the friendliest campus in the world - it says so right there on the website.  When you are walking around on campus, 9 times out of 10 the people you pass by will say "Howdy."  It's pretty cool.  Totally makes me feel like a poser, though.  Most of the time, I responded with a "Hi!" and then silently kicked myself in the arse for getting the greeting wrong! sigh

Anyway, John was desperate for some Aggie football.  It had been 4 years (or more) since he had been to a game at Kyle Field, so we decided to make a weekend out of it.  We got there on Friday so John and his friend from work could go to Midnight Yell. 

Then, Saturday, we toured campus.  We somehow ended up on a tour for prospective students.  (I guess that was John's way of starting Cora off right!)  So, we didn't get as much of the history as John would have liked, but it was still a nice tour.  We saw Sul Ross.

We took pictures under and explored the Century Oak.

How cute is this!

Then, we hung out in the Academic Building for a few minutes - sweet, sweet air conditioning!

Cora liked the stairs best of all, I think.

Jump! Jump!

Oh, and did I mention we shopped for new Aggie gear.

I think she may be the cutest Aggie Chick I've ever seen!

Cora and I left shortly after the tour.  But, John and his friend stayed on to cheer the Aggies to victory.  I guess it wouldn't be so bad if Cora chooses Texas A&M!
