It was a beautiful day for a football game. And what a game it was!
On Saturday, Lee and I ventured down to our old stomping grounds in Bloomington to see the IU/PU football game. It was a sweet day of victory for the Hoosiers!
We were asked to go to the game by our good friends, Neal and Melanie Blythe. They have season tickets and haven't missed a home game yet ~ die hard fans, indeed! We loaded up the suburban, picked up Neal and Mel, and also picked up Lee's brother, Nick, and his girlfriend, Erin. We had a fun trip down to the game.
I can't believe how many people were tailgating before the game. It must have broken a record of some sort. It was unbelievable! We had a great time tailgating and were accompanied by Melanie's family ~ also die hard IU fans!

"The Rock" ~ Neal felt quite at home in the stadium.
It got colder during the second half, so we all bundled up.
Lee's step-sister, Sara, was kind enough to let us stay at here apartment that night. She went out with us to help celebrate. We had a great time!
My parents watched the boys while we were gone. They are so nice like that! My dad is a big Purdue fan and he taught Krue and Kiefer how to say, "Go Boilers!" I couldn't believe that he had brainwashed them during the time we were gone :) Have no fear, I had them saying "Pee-U Purdue" before we left their house on Sunday.
Go IU!

It was a great game even for a purdue fan at heart. Looks like fun.
We had sooooo much fun!! I hope Neal wasn't too fired up about the game:) I'm so glad IU won so we didn't have to see Neal in pout mode! Thanks so much for arranging us to stay with Sara. We had a blast.
GO HOO-HOO-HOOSIERS!!!!
Wow! What fun!
Oh, I forgot something! Mel... You crack me up with 1 beer in your hand and another in your pocket! :) You gotta be prepared.
I knew I liked your dad! :) Hey, can I sit for your kids soon - I have a few sayings I think they might like to try . . .
I hear that your parents (the grandparents) teach your children things they wouldn't have taught you when you were a child. What's up with that...and oh how they spoil the babies!
Oh my! I miss IU! What a great time! GO IU!
