UM Spring Game

Like last spring, we drove to Ann Arbor to attend the University of Michigan's Spring Game. We decided to skip the locker room tour this year, instead opting to drive down a little bit later so that we would arrive in time for the alumni flag-football game and the Maize vs. Blue scrimmage. We met up with our friends, Chris & Deanna, as well as their children, and made our way into the stadium. We froze our butts off, but at least we were smart enough to take blankets this year! We didn't end up sticking around for the whole scrimmage, though (why couldn't this have been one of the 80 degree days that we had earlier in the week?).

After leaving the scrimmage was over, we headed to the M Go Blue Shop to see what was on sale this year. I found some nice alumni t-shirts, Tara found a sweatshirt, and the kids each found a shirt and/or hat. Also like last year, we stopped to eat lunch at Red Robin. After eating , we headed back home to relax for the remainder of our day.
