Drew chose to go to the Buckeye/Iowa game long ago. Before we knew what a BIG game it would be, and we knew the pressure that would be on our beloved Buckeyes. What a fun weekend they had...just the 2 of them.
They left after school on Thursday and stayed in Indianapolis Thursday night. Friday morning they were up early, enjoying a big breakfast at the hotel and off to Columbus they went. Once in Columbus it was 70 and sunny so they were able to get in a round of golf at the Ohio State University Golf Scarlet course...all 18 holes of it. They headed to Drew's favorite, "Eddie Georges" restaurant for dinner. And then off to see our friends the Townsleys for the night.

Saturday they headed down to the stadium to meet up with one of Scott's friends, and a guy he works with here in Iowa Brian Sansgaard. He is a Hawkeye fan so they wanted to show him around. Scott and Drew then headed to the Ohio State Presidents luncheon pregame party.

They headed to the farm that night, where Grandma and Grandpa Shisler are...went to church with them on Sunday, had a quiet afternoon there, went to play 9 holes at Lions Den golf course in the afternoon and home for dinner. Scott's sister, Kathy, was there part of the day as well.

With Grandma and Grandpa Shisler Monday while Scott chopped stalks for his Dad in the field Drew played with their dog Cindy and went to town with grandma and grandpa Shisler for lunch...and then Scott and Drew headed to Cleveland in the late afternoon. They went to the Monday night football Cleveland Browns game, Drew's first in Cleveland, Scott's second.

Tuesday...they came home. Drew talked non stop at dinner last night. I am not kidding, he hardly took a breath. Had SO much to share and had so much fun being with his Dad. What wonderful, blessed weekends.
I love all the pictures but I really love the appropriate team colors worn at each respective game. :)
ReplyDeleteThose nachos look really, really good and I am seriously coveting them right now. :)
