@GhostofGarbers When Ole Miss came to Cal we got a babysitter for our 5 month old because neither my wife or I wanted to miss that game. We did do day games with him that season, but we also live in Oakland so we could get to the game late or leave early if needed to.
@TomeiTyler@MikeHotDogMayor How about swimming? My 9 yo thinks he wants to do it but other than the OPYRD summer teams that only expect 2-3 practices a week, meets if you can make it, no problem if you miss weeks for vacation and $50 for the summer no way am I committing him to what other teams expect.
@HiltonHonors why is that every time I book connecting rooms through the website for my family when I get to check in the hotel has us on separate floors. My main reason for booking with Hilton is being able to book connecting rooms. And it costs me more points.
@TomeiTyler I saw it a couple weeks ago but went with my regular, doowutchyalike. I'll have to try that next time we're there with the kids on a Friday Family night. Not this week though, Cal baseball has a home game and I have a little leaguer that loves going to baseball games.
@breeannaf@AdmiralBear01 Another advantage of going back for a break in the afternoon is the ability to charge your phone back up so you don't have to carry a portable power bank. And you can take a breath and plan your late afternoon lighting lane and mobile dinner location.
@AdmiralBear01@breeannaf Agree. Took the 7 year old and 4 year old last spring break and the midday break back at the hotel, even though they didn't nap and just watched tv was the way to go. I was on the app during that time lining up lightning lane for when we went back in.
@AGuyNamedNam My 8 year old has been struggling all season with the possibility of a coaching change and it only really clicked about why when my wife said it would be his first.
I remember being a kid and being upset when Snyder left Cal for ASU.
@JustinWilcocks I have season tickets for my family in XX, lots of space around us. I tried to buy seats next to us for UNC for our friends that went there and I was told it was a big seller and the best they could do was 10 rows away. Day of game they sat next to us in empty seats.
@GhostofGarbers Those night games are really tough for those of us with kids. I just don't think I can go through that walk down the hill from the stadium with a tired 5 y.o. and whiny 8 y.o. after watching bad football again this season. But we're in for any pre 530 pm kickoff.
@gobears99@AGuyNamedNam I mean, it doesn't solve anything or really make me feel that much better, but I'm still going to do it. I just keep it in the different group texts.
I know it's not targeting @AGuyNamedNam or @TomeiTyler grade level. But it's nice to see Cal trying to get kids to sporting events through reading.

I was sent this from OUSD because I have kids in K and 3rd.
@gobears99@avinashkunnath@rob11hwang@AGuyNamedNam Just checked and according to Google drive we last did the talk in April 2012. That has all the photos we used. Our hard copy notes are still in my file cabinet, along with other notes from talks my wife did about Cal spirit/history/traditions.
@gobears99@avinashkunnath@rob11hwang@AGuyNamedNam My wife and I used to do a guest lecture on the history of pranks for the DeCal Cal history class. We have a pretty good collection of primary sources from early 00s and some decent research on older stories.
@AGuyNamedNam Just purchased mine. I told the wife and she wishes I would have said something sooner because she would have written something about getting our babysitter to show up at 5 am. Not to mention our 7 year old saying "we finally beat Miami" after winning a women's basketball game.
