The start of football season! Friday evening, Nick and I went to the Vikings-Rams preview game and watched the Rams 3rd string beat the Vikings 3rd string. The Vikings #54 did have a nice interception return for a touchdown, but the Rams kicked a field goal as time expired to win. Walking too and from the car, I was happy to notice far fewer gawkers on the bridge. Saturday, the Packers came back from a 0-9 hole to beat the Steelers 13-9 in Pittsburgh. The touchdown pass came from Aaron Rodgers on a 71-yard drive. We also blocked the only extra point attempt by Pittsburgh. What a great beginning!
Unfortunately, things aren't looking quite as rosy for the Twins. They lost all three games this weekend, including squandering a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the 8th last night. ARG!
In addition to all the sports stuff, we also had Jill and Cindy visiting this weekend. They came in yesterday morning and left after lunch today. We introduced them to the Wii and took them to dinner at the Fieldhouse Saturday night (hoping to catch some of the Packer game but they weren't airing it, opting to show the Chiefs/Titans one instead). Today we played a little more Wii and then went down to the Centennial Lakes mini golf course. Nick won, but Cindy was a close second. My personal favorite was the hole that I got a 2 on and everyone else got a 5. :)
In all seriousness, we had a very nice visit and I think they enjoyed themselves too. Now it's off for our fantasy football draft. Have I mentioned that I love football?
