BYU vs Notre Dame

We live about 1 1/2hrs from South Bend Indiana.  So when BYU was scheduled to play Notre Dame  how could Mark not go?!

After 2 wet and cold soccer games Sat. morning Mark and Wilson bundled up (prayed for no rain in South Bend) and set off to cheer for BYU!

Mark found tickets off Craigslist from some other BYU fans that were headed for the game, but he said next time he will try the scalpers because there were tons and tickets were going for really cheap!

At the beginning of the game Wilson had a bit of secondary embarrassment for his Dad.  Every time Mark would cheer Wilson would laugh and say. "You're funny!"
But by the end of the game Wilson was standing up on his chair cheering just as load as his Dad.  
He had a GREAT time and came home feeling extra special from his BYU date with Dad.

I love this grin!!

Mark was really impressed with Notre Dame fans.  He said for the most part they were super nice and respectful.  Everyone kept welcoming them to Notre Dame and saying good luck and things like that.
Hmm, maybe BYU fans could take some tips!
Just Say'n.
Can you see touchdown Jesus?  He is painted onto the building behind the stadium.  His arms are up and it looks like He is signaling touchdown so everyone at Notre Dame has dubbed Him the Touchdown God.  Wilson thought that was pretty funny!

I am so glad Mark and Wilson made this trip.  I'm grateful for Mark and that he is willing to take his 5yr old and do such fun things with him.  Such great memories!!

Both Ryan and I were at that same game!!! I wish we would have known...it would have been fun to say 'hi' and see an old familiar face:) It was a great game to watch...and the fans were so classy.
And we also swung by Chicago for part of our vacation. Such a neat/beautiful Downtown. We also walked along Navy Pier. It looks like it was pretty day for you...it was really dark/dreary/rainy when we visited. Still TONS of fun, though!
Congrats on baby #4! You seriously make it look so easy Becca!
