Touchdown!

For his experience gift last Christmas, we gave Matthew a trip to a BYU basketball game and another to a BYU football game. His basketball game was earlier this year, but football had to wait until the fall. Over the summer we came across a flyer for the Cosmo Club which gives kids a t-shirt, 4 football tickets and 8 basketball tickets (meant to be used for multiple games for the child and a guardian), free entrance to other BYU sports games when they wear their t-shirt and other special events all for $50. It was a great deal so we opted to do that rather than just a single football game.

Yesterday was Matthew’s first ever BYU football game. The Cosmo Club kids were invited to be on the field a couple of hours before the game where they met Cosmo, tossed a football around and basically had a great time.

He didn’t even care that their seats probably should have included an oxygen mask or that the Cougars won by so much that it wasn’t actually a terribly exciting game. He was just thrilled to be there!

After the game the kids got to ring the victory bell and rub shoulders with several of the players.

Matthew has been excited all week and yesterday was definitely a winner! (So here's a little confession: I may not be all that into sports, but it is nice to have a kid who cheers for my alma mater!)
