The Return to Titletown

We got the kids (and neighbor Maddie) out of school a little early today so we could help celebrate the Lombardi trophy returning to Titletown.
One of my favorite memories= A few people came to the stadium in Bears jerseys, wherever they went the chant, "the Bears still suck" followed them. The kids would join in and I couldn't help but smile. I'm not even sure the kids ever chanted the correct thing, it was more what they were hearing the crowd say then what was actually being said, which made it even more priceless.
It was certainly a day to remember, the temps felt like -12 degrees when it started and they said to expect it to feel like -25 by the time it was over. We hot packed our mittens, boots and snow pants and were ready to roll.
The cold weather did not prevent us from having a good time! The chants around the stadium, especially during the TV/commercial breaks would have put chills on a body even if the temps were in the 80's+.

Geremu enjoyed cheering for his favorite player, Donald Driver.

This was the jumbo-tron view, what I imagine TV views also saw...
This was our view, if you look close Aaron Rogers is on the stage in the black coat, jeans and towel around his neck (between the two heaters)... The atmosphere was amazing, pictures and video will never do it justice. The kids were diggin' getting random high fives and cheering MVP, Go Pack Go, etc...
After the ceremony was a highlights video and firework show to music. It was really well orchestrated and fun to watch.
It was a late night but full of fun!
Thanks Katie for getting us the tickets. Maybe next year you will be able to join us for the fun:)
