of Lambeau Field!
On Thursday, Tyler, Grandpa, Frank, and I traveled to Green Bay for the Packers stockholder meeting. We got there at 9 A.M. and left at 3 P.M.. The minute we walked into the stadium, there was Packer stuff everywhere-- all except for players. Tyler kept asking where the players where and when the game was going to start! It took a lot of explaining, but he finally understood that the players were all on vacation and they would be coming to camp very soon! On the way out of the stadium there way a man standing there-- possibly a player-- and Tyler looked at him and said "he's a Yankee." The man looked at him and said "what?"-- I had to explain to this very large man that my son thought he was a baseball player for the New York Yankees!
It was a very nice day. Not only was Grandpa like a kid in a candy store, but so was Tyler. Less than a month ago he was at Nassau Coliseum and now he was at Lambeau Field! When we got there, we were early for the stockholder meeting so we headed down to the Hall of Fame. Eventually we found the "Junior Cheesehead" area where Tyler had a blast! He tried on different uniforms (of course he picked his favorite player's!) and here he is posing as Brett Favre:
There was also a cheese themed climbing area:
Tyler kicked some field goals, threw the football, and pretended to tailgate in this area. We soon made our way to the training camp area:
Every year to begin training camp, the players ride bikes from the practice area to the locker room. Kids are invited to come and watch and participate in this event. Tyler and I tried out the bikes and took our own ride with the statues. I can only imagine what a 300 pound linebacker looks like on these bikes! Outside the stadium, there was a tailgate area set up. There was a band and good food, but we spent the most time in the obstacle course area:
Tyler ran through tires, blocked players and climbed walls. He may not have the size to become a nose tackle, but he certainly has the speed and gumption to become a kicker!
Inside Lambeau Field. Maybe someday I will be there watching a live game.... Too bad Brett won't be the QB anymore....
Nor will Bart Starr! (Grandpa, Frank, and Tyler with the Bart Starr statue).

Oooh- that looks like it hurt, Tyler! :)
How fun! That looks like a really nice stadium. Your dad looks super-happy in all of those pictures! I love it! I'm glad that you were able to go there, even though I know you are not too happy with the Favre drama.
That obstacle course looks really fun! Can adults do it, too?
