Our First Northwestern Football Game

We went to our first Northwestern football game last Saturday. One of Spencer's professors gave us his tickets since he was going to be out of town. It was a fun game and a nice atmosphere. The field is really pretty and the stadium is pretty small. I really enjoyed the family friendly atmosphere, it was kind of like going to a baseball game. Although I think Spencer missed the wild and crazy BYU football games. The stands were pretty empty because school doesn't start for a couple more weeks so most of the students weren't there, so maybe it will get a little more wild and crazy for Spencer :).

Even though Spencer was glad he got to go to the Northwestern football game, he was sad that he would be missing the BYU football game that evening (since we don't get the channel that the games are on out here). But Saturday was Spencer's lucky day... After the Northwestern football game we had a ward ice cream social ( a mere 2 hours before the BYU game started). At the social Spencer found out that a family in the ward actually got the channel that the BYU game was broadcasted on (very rare out here). Brother King (BYU channel guy) invited Spencer along with a few other die-hard BYU fans over to watch the game immediately after the ice cream social.

We had a good time (especially Spencer) and they have invited us back for the rest of the games this season so needless to say - Spencer is very excited. I can handle a little football, but a full days worth is quite a stretch for me. Luckily Spencer knows he owes me, so now all I have to do is come up with something really good that I want (suggestions are welcome :) ).
