Dear Mommy,
I went to my first football game today, and what better team to watch than the University of Washington Huskies. We arrived all decked out in purple.
The whole place was an ocean of purple!
(Scroll over photo to see where we are.)
Even the OSU Beavers - that's the opposing team - were so nice!
Then we went into this fancy tail gate section called The Zone. It's the sophisticated version of the tail gate party in the parking lot earlier.
Instead of beer pongs, here the have Purple Kool-Aid, aka The Purple Haze.
It's a whole other breed of people inside the stadium. I swear, if you cut them they'll bleed purple and gold!
And then there were the Beavers that made up a tiny island of orange at the edge of the purple ocean.
I learned that Oregon State University has the oldest college marching band in the Pac 10. And what a performance they had with the UW Huskies marching band! The opening ceremonies was so fantastic! See, there are the two bands playing the National Anthem together.
Mom, are you getting all this? Because I'm going to get carpal tunnel from texting anymore.
So how about I just let the pictures tell the the story, the whole story, and nothing but the story.
(Naughty, naughty Harry...)
By the way, that stands for DEFENSE. We screams our lungs out when the opposing team was on the offense, you know, to distract them. And it worked! UW Stadium is known to be one of the loudest college stadiums.
And we prayed. Oh my goodness, did we pray...
The Huskies have been so down that we'd take anything. Anything.
For a touchdown.
And by golly, we got it!
It was a battle! And we won with a prayer!
Final Score:
The Beavers had a fighting chance, Mom. But they got greedy.
And in the end we celebrated.
For dinner we had 20 tacos at this Jack In The Box, where the cashier greeted us through the intercome with "Welcome to Yackindebocks... Ju want two tacos?"
"No," we clarified. "Twenty."
"Two?" the cashier repeated.
"Tuh-wenty!"
And she finally got it, because she proceeded to ask "anything else?"
"Two large Cokes," Palomino said.
"One large Coke."
"TWO!!!"
Needless to say, we didn't ask for the two small Sprites until we actually came face to face with her at the window.
All right, Mom. I gotta go. My I can't feel my fingers anymore...
Love,
Nicole
Ps. In case you're wondering about the robe that Palomino is wearing. It's his Johnny Jinx No More robe, which he will wear only, and ONLY when the Huskies play.
