Packer Mania

I guess we figured that since it looks like we are going to be here in Wisconsin indefinitely, we should probably hop on the Packer wagon.  It’s a pretty big wagon, so it wasn’t hard.  People here love their Packers.  And I’m not just talking casually.  It’s an obsession for many. 

It all started with the annual Chaplin Super Bowl party.  It’s pretty easy to cheer for a winning team, right?

I taught the kids a cheer:  “We are the Packers, we are the best and we will conquer!” 

From there it kind of snowballed:

Mike’s dad, Jim, had the opportunity to spend the month of March in Milwaukee for work.  One of the things he wanted to see while he was out here was Lambeau Field.  We’ve never really been, so we jumped at the chance.   My sister Amber was lucky enough to be in town for the blessed event.  During the tour you get to go through the tunnel that the Packers come out of on game day.  They have a recording of the announcer and the game day crowd playing as you go through.  The frozen tundra:Aren’t we a photogenic bunch? We struggle sometimes.You can’t leave this girl alone for one minute…I think a couple of other Packer Fans were made that day as well.  Jim’s Milwaukee office gave him a bunch of Packers loot as a parting gift. And although she’s required to be a 49er’s fan by marriage, I know secretly Amber now holds the green and gold near and dear to her heart.  We stopped at 5 guys on the way up to Green Bay.   Yum!  We love that place.  I think if I had to pick one food to live off of for the rest of my life it would be french fries.  Yes, I know that would be a short life.   I shorty but a goodie!

Go Pack Go!
