Leo had the honor of taking home the class mascot, Dottie the Dove, last weekend. Luckily, we had some big plans--Leo would be attending his first University of Texas (or "Texas Fight" as he calls it) football game. Gus stayed with Granny Jo and Popsy who were in town for Aunt Kathleen's 60th birthday. Here is the journal "Leo" wrote for his class:
"Dottie, you are going to come
with us to Austin for the Texas Fight football game!” I told her. She wanted to
leave right away but I said that first we needed to rest up for the long drive!
So the two of us relaxed on Thursday afternoon, watching Jungle Junction. The
next morning we took a little snooze while daddy packed the car for our trip.
Dottie sat next to me the
whole way. We played on the iPad while my little brother Gus watched. Dottie loved
the drive!
Here we are at the hotel.
Dottie wanted to order room service. Silly Dottie!
On Saturday I dressed Dottie in a University of
Texas t-shirt and brought her to the stadium! She looked great in orange and
she loved cheering on the Texas Longhorns to a win against Iowa State.
We walked around campus where
I showed Dottie the UT Tower (seen in this picture) and we ate at one of the
dorms. Dottie had so much fun that she wants to go to college now. I told her that
we both need to finish preschool first!
Bonus pics: I didn't want to be a show-off so I decided to stop after six pics. But here are some that didn't make the book. Sorry, Paloma!
Gus got a chance to hold Dottie:
