TCU - Go Frogs!

It is rare that the cousins get to spend the night with each other so they were very excited when they woke up altogether. They didn't waste anytime putting on the dress-up clothes and playing around in the backyard. It was such a beautiful morning that they ate breakfast outside.

I was chasing Carter around the house to get his picture and this is finally how he posed for me.
All the girl cousins dress in their TCU attire, ready for a fun-filled day!
We met my mom, brother and sister-in-law in Fort Worth to go to the game together. Nana made a delicious picnic lunch for us that we ate in a shaded area right in front of the Fort Worth Zoo. The kids loved taking turns sitting in this tree. We were able to get the oldest ones up there altogether but... ...the little ones didn't like it as much.
The Whole Family
(minus Aunt Lori, who was on a girl's weekend and Mike, who was taking the picture)
After our lunch, our friends, the Castillos, let us park our cars at their house because live within walking distance of Amon Carter Stadium. They also came along with us to enjoy the pre-game festivities.
TCU hosts Frog Alley before every home game. The 'kid zone' has face painting...

... hair wrapping, button-making, balloon animals, bounce houses and many other fun kid-friendly activities.
Before the game, the kids, along with their parents, are allowed to run the field when the players run out. They gave us these jerseys while we waited to be let down on the field.Wow, you have to run fast! But its a lot of fun!

Really enjoying the game from the shaded reserved seating.
The halftime show featured the "dancers" from schools all over the area. The entire field was full of girls doing a cute choreographed routine. It was a huge hit with the Hall and Seelman girls!

After the Frog win we went back to Nana's house for dinner and bedtime. The kids (and adults) were worn out after an exciting, activity-packed day. It was a fabulous weekend with all of our family.
