Texas Longhorns

We left school early on Friday to go to Austin. We were going to see a collage football game. Texas Longhorns against Kansas Hawks. Austin is a 6 hour drive from here so we had a long drive ahead of us. The trip actually went by really fast. We did not drive all the way to Austin on Friday through we spent the night in a small town called Gruene which is about 40 min from Austin.


Gruene was a super cute town. It had a lot of old buildings, like the oldest Dance hall in Texas. They also have a market there every third Saturday of the month were they sell hand made jeweleries and homemade sauces and a lot of other things.

From Geuene we went to Austin to get a hotel room and then we went to the game. We stopped by the Texas longhorn store we bought stickers to put in our faces and my host dad bought a football that he wanted to get signed by the players.

We knew that our seats were going to be high up but i was a lot higher than i had expected. We had to take 11 escalators to get up there and after that we walked up some stairs almost all the way to the top. We were saying that we would probably not come out on TV because then they would have to get a Helicopter to film all the wat up there.

I ejnoyed the game very much even though we were high up. The band were doing all kinds of cool formations before the game and i halftime ad it is actually better to see that from were we were sitting. Texas won the game in the end of course. When the game ended we went outside of the stadium to see if we could get autographs from some of the players. I didn't have anything to get signed, but i got to take a picture with some of them and my host dad got the signature of about 20 players. I felt bad for the players though because when they left tha stadium it was about midnight and they had practice at 6 am the next morning.
