tailgating adventures with dad

Erin has had to work the last two Saturdays, so Will and I have gone tailgating with our friends in the mornings. So far Will is an excellent tailgater - he is especially excited when we play tailgating games, and likes all the attention. Note that Will and I have matching Team 7AM tailgating shirts.



We tailgated at Katrina/Arleigh/Meghan's house last week. We played beer pong, played catch with dad and lots of other people, hammered stuff and grilled chicken wings. When we had to leave we forgot Will's book Ted Gets Wet, but Arleigh was nice enough to bring it to me in the lab last week, after she and her roommates read through it a few times. She said it was hard to give back - a real page-turner.




This past Saturday we went back to the same house for a tailgating breakfast. This time Will's girlfriend Regan came too. They were wearing matching outfits! We tried several times to get a good picture of the two of them looking at the camera. The picture on the left was the best one, but Will looks like he's already a few beers down. Regan brought a lot of fun toys which she was nice enough to share with Will. Also, Regan can throw Will's throwin' ball pretty well herself.




After breakfast we went to the golf course for some serious tailgate action. Michigan was playing Notre Dame - usually a wild rivalry game, but since both teams are doing horribly this year, it wasn't too rowdy. Also the game didn't start until 3:30 so when we were here around 10:30 it was a relatively tame environment and Will got to do lots of fun things. The best was when my friend KC and I housed a couple of Notre Dame fans in beanbag toss and Will helped us celebrate. KC and I got some serious high-fives from Will afterward but when one of the ND fans tried for one, Will denied him. Harsh.




Then it's home for Will's afternoon nap. After such eventful mornings, Will gets pretty tuckered out. The timing has worked out really well the last couple weeks - right about the time Will wakes up from his nap, Erin gets home. Then we watch football for the rest of the day!
