Ducks Football

For Doug's birthday we got tickets to the season opener Duck game. Jack, who is a die hard Beaver fan, decided he could root for the Ducks since they weren't playing OSU. He even got decked out in Ellie's old gear. Although he kept a few touches of orange and black. This was the first big college football game for the kids. We knew they would be amazed. It was a long day. We left the house at 9:00am and returned at 7:00pm. (hmmm I think watching comfortably from your couch is a little nicer) But as we left they were asking when we could go again. And despite the Ducks winning 72-0 we stayed until the game was over. Maybe going to the season opener will have to be our new family tradition. Of course Jack is now eager to get to a Beaver game. I'm not sure about that.

I love his eye black and his feisty spirit.

Best buddies

Having a fun tailgater to go to made the experience even better.

The first try at our picture with Pancho perfectly framed between us.

I even got to meet Natalie's boyfriend and embarrass her just a little.

The kids had a blast playing football in a grassy area.

The stands were clearing out but we were there for the whole thing.

They thought this guy was great.
