Last Wednesday, August 1st was an absolute blast!! It started out super early, with us leaving Oshkosh at 6:30AM, but it was all with good reason - we had to be to Green Bay by 8:15 for Packer Practice! We were able to take along two of the sweetest kids, Spencer and Kate. They are friends from church. It also happened to be Spencer's 9th birthday and we had a fantastic time celebrating!
First up, Training Camp. At the gate they were handing out faces of Clay Matthews and Greg Jennings and G-Force tattoos. Andrew and I had two Clays and two Gregs sitting with us in the bleachers! :)
Oh wait, one of the Gregs is just Spencer!
Mads and Kate:
Greg Jennings, looking a little short! :)
Time for drills:
Aaron Rodgers
Jordy Nelson and Donald Driver:
Give up some love for the punter - Tim Masthay
More Donald Driver - Dancing With The Stars Champion! :)
Walking over to the Pro Shop - what a crew!
I was taking a picture of Andrew and the kids when a nice lady offered to take a picture of all of us. I'm finally in a picture!!
Balloon on a stick - our Pro Shop findings.
One last look at the Pack getting ready for a championship season!
After we left Training Camp we stopped at a park for a little bit to run off some of the energy the kids had pent up from sitting in the stands.
Nathan and his buddy Spencer on the teeter totter:
Then Nate moved over to Kate's side!
After the park and on our way to Bay Beach I noticed that there is a "Spence" street in Green Bay. Because I'm super crazy with pictures I wanted to take a picture of Spencer by the sign since it was his birthday. Andrew found that Spence Street actually connected with 9th Street, which made ecstatic! So, here is Spencer at the corner of Spence and 9th on his 9th birthday!!!!
After I was done making everybody stop so that I could take crazy pictures we finally made it to Bay Beach. We met up with Andrew's cousin, Heidi, and her family who were in town from Arkansas.
Our first stop was the Zippin' Pippin' rollercoaster. I stayed behind with Spencer and Nate while the rest of the crew went on ahead.
Heading up! (Andrew and Heidi have their arms up)
Coming down the first drop!
If you look super closely you can see Andrew and Kate in the second to last car:
Nate watched the ride from a demo seat outside.
They made it out!
On to more rides!! Mads wanted to ride the swings so we stopped there next:
Spencer, Kate & Mads: (Behind the other girl)
Fire trucks!
Nate didn't want to ride in one of the empty cars, he really wanted to ride in the green truck with this girl! :)
Tilt a Whirl!!
Mads rode with Mike and Linley:
MORE SPIN!
Scrambler was up next, which Nate is too little for, so while everybody stood in line Spencer and Nate rode the helicopters:
Mads with Linley and Ellie:
Andrew and Kate:
Wheeee!
After the Scrambler we had a picnic lunch that Heidi had packed. After lunch we hit up a few more rides and finished with the carousel.
Spencer on the rooster and Kate on the pink pony:
Mads chose the rainbow horse:
and Nathan had the pig!!
Always a fun ride!
One last treat before heading home... SpongeBob and Dora on a stick.
We thought they were ice cream sandwiches, turns out they were extra super runny popsicles that got ALL OVER the kids' clothes. Good grief!
Thanks for stopping by!
