UK 38 - Norfolk State 3

What a great home opener! Everything about Saturday's game was great: the weather, the friends, the food, the halftime show by the visiting team's band - not to mention the big win by the Cats! It was a wonderful way to kick off the 2008 football season!

As always, there was lots of great food at the tailgate. Here's Jordi & Caroline yukking it up while the enjoy their dinner of football food!

Of course, as far as the girls are concerned, the best treats are to be had inside the stadium. This week, the following snacks came courtesy of "Uncle" Marty: cotton candy, funnel cake, m&m's, & skittles. (Yikes! I get a stomach ache just thinking about eating all that junk!)

We got to catch up with our season-ticket-seat-neighbors, Eli & his Mom. You may remember from last year's postings that he & Jordi became big buddies over the course of last year's football season. We're looking forward to seeing them a lot more over the next couple months!

Last year it was corn hole, but here's this year's new game: Tailgate Golf! Don't ask me how it's played; I only know that flinging golf-balls-on-strings through the air is an accident waiting to happen!

We got our annual family photo out of the way early this year. We've had one taken each year since we've had children. It's becoming one of my favorite annual family traditions!
