NAVY vs NIU


The Navy football team (aka my brother) has been in our neighborhood the past couple of days which is quite a treat for us!  They played Northern Illinois last night - a mere 45 minutes from our house, but even better they stayed in a hotel practically next door.  Monday night we picked Joe up from his hotel and brought him to our house to hang out and enjoy a little triple berry cobbler with us.  It was the first time he's visited us in Illinois and it was a lot of fun showing him around.  
                   
Last night was the big game so we bundled up - looking somewhat like Michelin tire men - and headed to the game.  It was a night game and pretty cold, but we were well prepared and having so much fun yelling and cheering that we had a blast!  Navy won 16-0 which made it that much more fun.  Afterward we got to go down with Joe by the locker room and hang out.  Navy is and awesome school and they really treat their people nice.  Thanks again for the tickets to the game, Joe!  It was great to see you!

After the game the players sing the school song.  When it's over they shout,"Go Navy, beat Army!"
