It was a very eventful weekend in Blacksburg for us all. Especially Colin. We usually make our annual Virginia Tech football game, but this year was extra special. It was the Hokie Bird's birthday party!!! Colin was invited and given special priviledges that well.... hundreds of other kids were given as the line was about as long as a U2 concert! As much as he enjoyed the birthday party and seeing Hokie bird, his favorite part of the weekend was seeing all the bikes on campus.
IKE IKE...AAT AAT he would say. The first time he saw some bikes he got really excited and then as we turned the corner we heard this big gasp from Colin as there were MORE bikes! It didnt get much better than that! Now the first part makes sense, but the "AAT AAT" we have no idea. We knew what he was talking about and I guess that is all that matters. Okay, news flash.... Abigail just told me what AAT means. It actually stands for "HAT" which Colin is referring to a helmet which you are supposed to wear when riding a bike. His grandpa always wears a helmet when riding his bike and Colin loves to put it on. Now it all makes sense!!!! What a smart boy!
Colin loved watching the game and got really serious when the opening "enter sandman" song came on that he usually listens to on the house computer. But at home he jumps up and down to the song - we think he was overwhelmed by all the people. The whole game (other than when he was sleeping - he slept for most of the first half) He would yell, "ball...ball" and point to the players and football as the action moved on the field. He would cheer and clap along with the crowd. He even did the Hokie Pokie with his aunt angela and aunt sarah.
