Saturday

On Saturday we found out that UT was having a fan appreciation day on campus. Fans could come and get autographs from UT football players. We thought that would be a fun thing to do. We dressed the family in burnt orange and headed out a little early, we wanted to make sure we beat the crowd. Well, apparently getting there 30 minutes early was not enough. They opened the doors to the gym starting at 11:00, and we heard that people started lining up about 7:00am. You had to have a wristband to get in, and they had already given out 2,500 wristbands by the time we got there. We stood in line for about 10 minutes before giving up. Here's a bit of the line:


So, we walked around the campus for a little while:



After sweating outside for an hour or so, we headed to Jungle Java. Jungle Java is an inside playscape that also has coffee and food. Brooks had a great time playing in the toddler jungle. He wasn't really interested in going down the slide, but definitely liked trying to climb up the slide. He definitely wore himself out.
