Bears vs Vikings

We ended the New Year by Jack and Jeff heading to Minneapolis and Kayden, Kyle and I staying at home, we partied a little with Aunt Kim before coming home to bed. But the New Year started off great for Jack! He got to go to his very first NFL football game, actually it was all of their first NFL game. They made it safely to the stadium. Bears vs Vikings. We planned it perfectly that his first game was indoors so he could enjoy it, plus Minnesota isn't having the best year so tickets were easy to come by and we were able to get them great seats! 10 rows up, behind the Bears bench on the 25 yard line. Perfect!


Jack and Charlie, Jeff and Tim assure me Charlie had a great time even though he didn't smile in any picture.

Tim, Jack and Charlie. I asked Jeff before they left to make sure they got one good picture of him and Jack at the stadium. Well that didn't happen. But oh well, they got good pictures of the game and had a great time!


The view from their seats without zooming in. Jeff said I did great picking out seats.

Mom's boyfriend #54 Brian Urlacher. The kids don't like it when I say that, but I love to tease them. Where the Vikings players run out before the game.




Huddle before the game began.


And the game has begun. Go Bears!


The offensive line. Even though there were several of Jack's favorite Bear's player hurt, he still had fun watching a live NFL game.


#80 Julius Peppers, another one of Jack's favorite players. Getting worked on in between plays.


The Vikings players. #69 Allen broke a record that day for most sacks in a season.


#52 Greenway is an Iowa Hawkeye boyThe final play of the game, the Bears take a knee




And they WIN! Yeah! The Bears win. That's all I really wanted for Christmas, was for the Bears to win when Jack went, and they did!


The enjoyed themselves so much that Jeff says we need to hit a NFL game every year, but the rest of us can come along. We'll see if that happens, but we will make it to another one some day.
