Go, Pack, Go!

Andrew has always been a Packer fan. He was born in Wisconsin, so I think green and gold run through his blood. Brendan and Evan just love sports. So, as a grand finale to our summer yesterday, we decided to take the ultimate Packer pilgrimage : We went to Lambeau Field.

I woke the sleepy boys up at 5:15 in the morning to begin our journey to Green Bay. We arrived just over two hours later at 7:30. Our first mission was the buy tour tickets then hit the gift shop while we waited. It was Evan's birthday so he picked some awesome socks and a little stuffed animal. The other boys got new Packer Hats.

Then, we toured Lambeau Field. I was enthralled with the history; the stadium and team both have a plethora of cool history. The boys liked the simpler things:

walking down the same tunnel the Packers do (Although in the tunnel, the tour simulates a game and plays this awesome loud noise. The boys were a little nervous about that!)

touching the hallowed Frozen Tundra (even Brendan, a professed Steeler and Viking fan, was somewhat awed by being by the field.)

sitting in the bleachers at the field.

Then, we went and watched the Packers practice. The Packers have a cool tradition of riding a kid's bike to the practice field from their cars. Here is Mason Crosby, the Packer kicker, riding a bike.

This is Aaron Rodgers, the quarterback, at practice. I think that is also Donald Drive number 80.

Our next stop was this final inflatable jumping land called the Packer Experience. They loved this!

In this video, watch Brendan leap at the very end. He is working on his own Lambeau Leap.

Finally, we ended with a dish of ice cream in the stadium. Then, we journeyed home.

Honestly, it was a wonderful day. I am not sure I bleed green and gold yet, but I do embrace the cheer: Go, Pack, Go!
