We went to our first Badger game today. It was lots of fun. We bought a friend's set of two season tickets... and then traded up for a set of four seats in the Varsity Club (by the way Steven's Construction in Sun Prairie is an amazing company, you should use them for all of your construction needs! www.stevensconstruction.com).

We had a great time at the game. There are a few pictures below. The top one is the "picture of the day" I love the way that Nicholas is trying to use my grandmother Isabelle's opera binoculars to see the game.

These are our "upgraded" tickets... they are so nice.

Our view of the game!

The boys sharing the "good" binoculars (that we got from my dad, with a binocular strap that I am pretty sure my mother made).

The band getting into formation on the field.

It was fun to take nice photos of the field by putting my point and shoot camera up to one side of the binoculars...

I was hoping to see Jay Valai #2 play today. He was in my Physics class when I taught in Texas, and is a senior this year, and a captain. He plays most games, and is really quite good, but this was basically what I saw him doing today. :(

This is the closest I saw him get to the field... in the huddle and walking back to the sidelines. Maybe I will make it to another game before he finishes the season!

And for all you badger fans out there, I have to say no one knows how to jump around like we do!
