We went to our first Navy football game yesterday. What a game! They ended up losing in OT, but there were some spectacular runs on both sides. We were 11 rows back, right around the 50 yard line. Beautiful weather! Conner and Claire had a blast, getting to know the "That's another Navy First Down" chant that another fan did on every first down. He even let Conner wear his hat! The flyby was pretty neat, especially since they were playing the songs from Top Gun before we saw the F-18s, then the Pilots came out for 1/2 time. It was pretty amazing to see all of the Midshipmen out there lined up on the field pre-game. The haze in the one photo is from the cannon which startled Claire the first couple of times they fired it. They fire that off every time Navy scores and of course, the Middies have to run out and do their push-ups each time as well! We're going to try to go to another game or two, of course we won't have such great seats, but it was a great way to spend the afternoon and evening! Now if only we could get tickets to Army/Navy on 12/1 @ Raven's Stadium in Baltimore...that would be a site to behold!
