Last weekend, Will's Saturday soccer game was canceled because the field had too much snow on it but by mid-day, the sun was shining and the temperatures were warming up so we headed over to Laramie for the UW Football Spring Game. For once, the weather was possibly nicer in Laramie and we had a terrific time. We hadn't been to the Spring Game before so we weren't sure what to expect. We arrived a little early and Reina spied the pony mascot - Cowboy Joe.

Once inside the stadium, we snagged some seats on the 50-yd line and watched the offense and defense battle it out. It was fun to watch the action that close up, even though it wasn't a real game situation. It was a defensive battle and the final score was 3-0 but we had fun watching the action.

| Dangit, I can't figure out how to rotate this picture. Rotate your head instead? |
The highlight of the afternoon was that after the game, the fans were invited on to the field to get autographs and take pictures with the players. I can't imagine this happens at some of the bigger schools but what a thrill for my football fan...okay and for me and Glenn, too. Even Reina seemed to enjoy it.

We spent a little while getting autographs - Will was even giving some gloves by #58. He was pretty excited about that. The autographs and the gloves are currently being framed at a craft shop to be added to Will's sports' shrine.
We are in the midst of football, baseball, softball and track season. But it is time for football yet?
