When Ragnar found out his favorite soccer team from Germany was coming to the United States close by in Austin, Texas he really wanted to go. So, November 19th we headed to Austin for a late birthday celebration weekend for him. The weather was terrible. It was so rainy and cold, but we were not deterred. We headed to Q2 stadium in Austin and watched some soccer!!
We walked from the car to the stadium and it was so wet and cold.
It was a brand new stadium and thankfully we were covered from the rain.
They did the United States and Germany national anthems which was fun.
I had so many layers on and the kids were making fun of me....well not too long in, they wished they had listened and added more themselves!
Even Ella was cold which is very unusual.
Unfortunately FC Koln lost to Stuttgart, but we had fun watching them and we had great seats. We made a night of it and stayed in a hotel and went to dinner at Texas Roadhouse.
The next morning it was a little warmer and clear. We went to tour the Texas state capital and then went to church at a building close by.
We headed back from Austin to stop by my parents on the way home as my sister Marisa had just driven in for Thanksgiving from Arkansas. It was a nice family weekend. I am glad we all enjoy soccer and it's something we can do together.
