Lindaus @ Lambeau

                  

           Attending the Badgers game was just the beginning. Grayson and I couldn't get enough football. We wanted more! When Al offered to send us to a Packer game (as an early Christmas present), I was online ordering tickets and reserving a hotel room by the end of the night. 

         We stayed in Sheboygan and got up early Sunday morning. We arrived at Lambeau by 8 AM. We went to the Hall of Fame and saw unique Packer memorabilia, old photos and uniforms (from as far back as 1919), a replica of Vince Lombardi's office, and (Grayson's favorite) the Kid's Zone. Grayson did the Lambeau Leap, kicked his own field goal, attempted to throw the ball at NFL speeds, and ran through a maze of 'padded lineman' without being knocked down. We were in awe of the three Lombardi trophies in glass cases. The only sad moment was hearing Reggie White's voice talking about winning a Super Bowl with Brett Favre and the Packers. We got a real appreciation of the Packers and their long history (the longest in the NFL).            

          We found our seats (covered with a sheet of ice) and bought a travel mug of hot cocoa ($6.25). We were prepared for the cold and were pleased that the only part of us that froze was our toes. Apparently fans in 'the know' bring a thick piece of cardboard or insulation for their feet (no one told us). We did 'the wave,'  jumped to 'Jump Around' and cheered and high-fived with everyone around us when the Packers scored. The Packers didn't win the game, but the experience was a WIN/WIN for us! We enjoyed every moment and can't wait to go to our next Packer game.
