FOOTBALL EXPERIMENT: A NEW FAMILY TRADITION

Wilson and Cooper endured 9 hours of driving to Seattle, 4 hours of game time, and in the end had a good time. The was a first time for the two older boys of the Lundberg household to experience the excitement of BYU FOOTBALL. BYU was playing the Washington Huskies. We even got to sit next to our good friends the Hainsworths who graciously had provided our tickets. THANKS!!!!
Cooper and His TREATS
Cooper of course left our seats no less than 9 times to get treats, hot dogs, water, and bathroom breaks. This was no small tasks seeing that we were in the nose bleed seats. He even went down to the bottom tier of the stadium, and walked all the way back to the seats to purchase his cherished nachos.
Dad the FANATIC
On the other end of the spectrum was Dad. Dad was in his seat 20 minutes prior to kickoff and this was just not soon enough. He sat in his seat through the whole game and through halftime. He only ate a small piece of pretzel. He did not want to miss a single play. In fact, Dad had a fever, a cough, and his whole body ached, but this did not get in the way of BYU FOOTBALL. He is a true blue BYU FANatic.
MOM: THE SOCIALITE
Mom, being the polar opposite of dad, went jogging during the first quarter of the game and MISSED THE KICKOFF. She was happy to sit and chat with her good friend Andrea Hainsworth. Periodically, they would ask how the game was going. She even joined in the cougar fight song at the appropriate time, surprising though it may seem. Mom the social coordinator, always looking for improvement in her social activities, wondered why dad got so uptight about not being to the game soon enough.

Wilson, taking it all in
Wilson enjoyed the game, the food, his ipod, and sitting with his good friend Eli Hainsworth. He was helpful when Cooper needed a partner to carry the food, and he was stellar when Cooper needed a partner to eat the food. Wilson did not easily get excited, he just took it all in. He was steady and consistent.

Prior to the game we went to Pike's market to purchase some fish. Wilson and Cooper were facinated at the fish toss, and the huge group of people watching. Betina and Kenneth Workman gave us their 120$ voucher for some Pike's market fish, in preparation for a big fish fry. We thought that might bring home quite a bit of fish.....but that was just not the case. 1 King Salmon was 150$. We added a Dungeness crab for another 20$. So we will have some fish and a whole lot of side dishes. The timing of the stop was a bit to close to game time for Dad, so needless to say, he was a bit chippy to get going.

We also had the blessing of having Susan Gubler watch Eliza, Max, and Marcos while we went to Seattle. We could not have done it without Susan. Eliza even got to go to the fair for Maggie's Smith's birthday party. Thank you Susan!

Overall, it was a great experience.

Such a fun game! I loved every minute of sitting next to you. Thanks for the fiber one bar so I didn't have to leave my seat.
