It really is quite the miracle that we even made it to the Husker game this weekend after a stomach bug took down both boys during the week…

Poor boys…

But, by God’s grace, everyone recovered in time for us to take the hubby’s parents up on their offer to watch the boys while we took their season tickets for the Nebraska vs. Washington game!

If you’ve never been, it truly is a sea of red…

A little chilly in the 96th row, but a GREAT view!

Pre-game team pile-up.

The band makes the Nebraska “N” during pre-game!

Balloons being released after the first touchdown!

There is no place like Nebraska – or Memorial Stadium on game day!

And what a HUGE blessing to be on a date with the hubby, watching football, with free tickets, parking AND babysitting after the long week we had! So grateful to his parents for making that all happen!

And many more blessings from that long week…
