It all started when my bff Chris sent me a text message asking if we would be interested in buying tickets to the Vikings / Jaguars game in Jax Florida. Michael and I were like, YEAH! What kind of question is THAT??!!
So, we discovered that game day was Destry's birthday and of course we cleared it with him to make sure he didn't have any qualms with celebrating it at the game. Okay, not that any of that truly mattered......we were gonna go anyway....But Destry knew the correct answer and had the best outlook for his birthday. He was excited to go to his first NFL game!
We took the trip down to Florida and had a blast at the game. The Jaguars were not having a good day at all, and we were most excited about it. Sorry losers!
So, it was my bff Chris her husband and 4 boys. Yes! I said FOUR boys and our fam including Patrick, the au pair. It started out to be a cool kind of day, but by the end of the 1st qtr, it got pretty warm! The players were taking a much needed breather and having fun doing it. Minnesota hadn't been doing exceptionally well on the road, but this one proved to be a good outcome. Final score 30-12.
The game actually started off mega crazy with turnovers and scores...it was so much fun and guys on the sideline were pretty cool with it.
I cropped the pic so you can tell who's who....not that any of you non-Vikings fans care...
In no particular order (but I'll put my favorite up there first!) #28 Adrian Peterson (aka All Day) #40 Jim kleinsasser, #90 Fred Evans (DT), #69 Jared Allen (another one of my faves), #96 Brian Robison (DE), Mr. Coolness himself, Sidney Rice (he reminds me of a young Randy Moss but not quite as fast.
#5 Chris Kluwe the punter, and last but not least #12 Good Ol' "I give myself concussions" Gus
Frerotte.
By the end of the game, many Jaguar fans were gone. But it just didn't start off well for them. We were living it up over this stuff! If you miss football, cuz it's basketball season, you might enjoy these highlights!

As you can see by the last highlight with 6:55 left in the game, many fans decided to leave. They didn't see him coming! Good ol' #28 just did it in for them!
By the time we left, we thought we were in Minnesota! So many fans were there in Florida! How 'bout them taters! I love the good ol' days!
Our Fam with bff Chris and her Fam after the game.
My Hero (wearing Greenway's jersey) meets up with fans for a pic!
All six of them, all rambunctious....but only two are mine tho!
Aren't they all adorable?? They will all have the girls following them around soon enough!
Destry sits down after the game and devours a birthday treat!
A bear is about to get attacked! Too many Vikings fans around here! Watch your back! Your friend is trying to save you....let him!
Whoops...too late. We've got you surrounded!
Oh no! The bear fights back with a bear hug! LOL... The little guy was so brave!
There were lots of Jaguar fans in this happy-time sports hang-out, so we got a couple of odd looks when we showed up in our purple gear. It was a nice end to a great day! I asked Destry about his special birthday, and he said, "It was awesome!" I think he'll want to do this again next year...
SWEET!!
G'bye
