Football Season

As always, we were super excited to gear up for football season. Maryland has a new coach and new uniforms that have garnered an impressive amount of media coverage, so we were looking forward to seeing what the Terps could do in their first game against Miami.

Since the first game, against Miami, started at 8:00 pm, Orlando and I left little girl at home with Myney while we enjoyed ourselves tailgating and cheering on the Terps to their first win of the season. It was fun in spite of the rain that drenched us for most of the second half.

Game 2 started at 12:00, so the three of us loaded up the car with breakfast supplies and headed out early. Our little girl was super excited.



It didn't take us long to get the party started with egg sandwiches, mimosas, and bloody marys. We have a standard crew that we tailgate with, and Anastasia helped us to document the fun by serving as the group photographer.



In addition to photos of the people at the party, Annie took more than a few still lifes.



Soon enough, it was time to head into the game. The game started off pretty poorly, but the Terps came back to make an interesting game of it. Meanwhile, Anastasia continued to serve as photographer for us. Taking short of the game, our friends, and the balloon turtle bracelet that we got from "Terp Town".



We had a great chance to get a picture with Testudo before the game was over, which was pretty exciting. Anastasia hasn't really liked people in character costumes in the past, so getting this picture was pretty fun.



When the game is early like this one, we end the day with some continued tailgating before heading home. We had a visit by former Maryland basketball forward, Dave Neal, who posed for photo with Annie and Orlando before we headed home for the evening.



It was a great day, a fun start to football season, even though the Terps didn't win. Looking forward to 6 more between now and mid-November.
