This weekend in addition to enjoying some fishing and campfire doughnuts, we also got to par take in some Pittsburgh Steelers revelry. While camping is always a good time, the reason for our camping trip was so we could spend the afternoon checking up on our boys in the burgh!
This was Scott and my third trip to Latrobe, PA to watch the Steelers practice at training camp. It’s always fun to see the players you watch and cheer on T.V. live and in person. I particularly enjoy watching them interact with each other.
We met my parents in the parking lot and entered the campus proudly wearing our black and gold jerseys. My son started chanting, “Here we go Steelers, here we go… Pittsburgh’s going to the Superbowl.” (Steelers fight song)
As we sat and watched them play we snapped a few (hundred) pics of our favorite players.
And we sweated, A LOT.
While we downed water bottles and tried to block the sun with our terrible towels, I couldn’t help but reflect on the last time Scott and I watched the Steelers play.
Last time it was 27 degrees. This time it was 95 degrees. Seems we’re willing to go to either extreme to watch our boys play ball.
(While Saturday was a ton of fun, I think freezing my legs off while watching the Steelers beat the Ravens in the AFC Championship game, still goes down as my favorite)!
i think it's so great that you guys went AND made a camping trip out of it. love the family pic, too!
ReplyDeleteawesome! where did you camp? my parents live in monongahela, so we just stay there. i love the pictures, but i now have to go now spend some time with God in confession of sin for all the coveting i just committed, realizing that you got to go to the afc championship game. thanks alot.
ReplyDeleteTerrific Post - it was a great time. Love the pictures. And I agree - it was extremely HOT!!! But well worth a great start to watching and enjoying the Steelers.

ReplyDeleteYou guys are so cute in your black and gold! So glad you made it to training camp and that a good time was had by all. Next year...the Happy family is crashing the fun though! We'll make a joint family affair of it!
