B - B - B - Bears Game!
Took the boys to their first Bears game ever on Thursday night, Dec. 6, 2007. They were in town to play the Skins. And man, can you say COLD!!! It reminded me of the games I used to go to growing up! It was so stinkin cold that it took us 2 days to thaw out. If I even smelled cold air for the 48 hours following, I instantly ran the other direction!
Just to prove, look at this picture of us at the beginning of the game:
And than look at us by the end of the game (note: Sammy is asleep under the blanket, and Noah is fading fast):
Despite the cold, we had an absolute blast. Got there around 5 pm (game time was 8), and tailgated. I brought my fire pit, so we actually made a fire to keep warm in the parking lot. We had people coming over to warm up!
Than we fired up the grill, cooked some brats, polishes, hot dogs, hamburgers, and steak! Eat was a meat-fest extroadinaire! YUM!
After 3 hours of eating, playing corn hole, and huddling around the fire, we headed in to our seats (note: if you watched the game, you might remember a fan running on the field. That is him being carried off by security on the 20 yard line!):
Unfortunately, the Bears let us down and lost 24-16. But, it was a great night with my boys cheering for our team!

Oh you lucky duck! What I wouldn't give to go to a game. On the flip side while you guys were bundling up in the cold watching the game, Kyle & I were at a sportsbar in Hawaii in tank tops and shorts watching the game! You know you married a die-hard when you have to watch EVERY game even when you're on vacation with a four hour time change! :)
