A Fun-Filled Football Weekend

Last week, we had fall break on Thursday and Friday.  Andy and I took advantage of the time and ventured off (while the girls stayed home with Nana) to Wisconsin for a football weekend with family and friends.   We had an absolute blast!

We started our vacation with a drink at the SLC airport.

Do you see that?  No crayons, kids toys, or kids meals.  Ahhh....dinner in Madison, WI at the Texas Roadhouse

The next day, we were off to tour the New Glarus Brewing Company in New Glarus, WI.  

Next stop:  a cheese and chocolate haus

Later that afternoon, we met up with my mom, Pete, and my sister.

Saturday was the Badger homecoming game.

The UW-Madison men's basketball team was signing autographs.

This is my grandma's favorite player, Nigel.

After the game, we walked to State Street and helped out the economy.

The next morning, we were on the road and off to Green Bay for the Packers/Chargers game.  

Andy was very excited because the Chargers players were in those buses--with police escorts and all.

We made it!

Ben met us in WI for the game.

The stadium was beautiful!

We had 2 sets of tickets (not together) and shared them with Ben.  This was the view from our seats during the first half. 

We also had a clear view of the instant replay booth.

 We switched seats at halftime and this was our view for the 2nd half.

The Packers ended up winning (yay!) but it came down to the final seconds of the game.  

 I will end this post with a couple of Emma's writing samples from school.
