The drive up was mostly uneventful, save a little bit of heavy traffic here and there. The ladies took the back seat and we never ran out of things to talk about, which I partially credit to the fact that we're both pregnant! Although, she is all 'cute pregnant' with her bump and I'm still just 'bloated pregnant' with the only bump being the extra pounds I've started to collect.
The game was exciting, even leading to a riveting overtime, but in the end Penn came away with the win. Dartmouth played a great game, and the surprisingly large crowd cheered with energy throughout the entire afternoon. Their record is now 2-1, which is a pretty good start for the Big Green!
One weird thing...at the end of the third quarter, when the Penn side sang their alma mater, they threw toast down onto the track around the field. Frank said it is a tradition based on a pun of "give a toast to dear old Penn," but we all agreed it seemed silly, wasteful, and messy. They even had a zamboni-like vacuum machine that some poor groundskeeper had to drive around during the fourth quarter to pick up all of the bread!
The weather was perfect, if not a little on the warm side, the company was excellent, and the game was great (up until the very end). All in all, a great way to spend a fall Saturday!
Hoping your Papa sees these great pics! Sorry your team lost, but glad you had fun and that Daddy has something to crow about! Kimmie and I became friends 30 years ago when both preg. Helen thought of getting us together. We talked all the way through a Wofford football game and as you well know, haven't stopped yet! ;-) xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteWe enjoyed seeing pictures of Franklin Field.
ReplyDeleteAttended many games there over the years. Glad you, Frank and your friends had such an enjoyable time. We never knew about the "toast
deal". 'Tis rather silly! Love ya, Nana
