This year, we took Emerson to his first Mississippi State basketball game. It ended up being a really fun weekend since we got to see Pop two days in a row. He came to Ridgeland to hang out, play with Emerson, and of course watch State play Wake Forrest in the Music City Bowl on Friday.
Then on Saturday, we made the trek to Starkville to see the basketball team take on Utah State. We figured a non-SEC team would be best for his first game since the Hump wouldn't be as full. Emerson seemed to enjoy the game and the action kept him intrigued. We did take a couple walks around, but he did a great job watching to game. During halftime Emerson even walked about a third of the way around the Hump all by himself! He did happen to steal some of our popcorn!
After the game, we headed over to the new Corner Station Grill for a late lunch/early supper. Emerson decided to try all sorts of new foods today. While he had eaten fries and mashed potatoes before, both here had garlic (which he'd never eaten) and he also ate chicken for the first time. I couldn't believe it. He actually ate it and didn't throw it down! Finally, we dropped by Aunt Lane & Uncle Robert's to see them before we left town.
