Purdue vs. Minnesota

Daddy's alma mater vs. Mommy's alma mater = a team neutral baby!


On Saturday we made the trip up to West Lafayette to watch the Gophers get pounded by Purdue.  Poor Minnesota.  They just aren't very good.  At all.  Oh well, it was a lovely fall day regardless.  Actually, it was a HOT fall day.  We only made it about a quarter sitting in the stands.  It was super sunny and hot.  And Wren did not want to keep her hat on... she preferred chewing on it instead.  We tried to shade her with our bodies, but that only lasted for a bit.  Plus she pooped EVERYWHERE.  So... needless to say, we did not watch the whole game from inside the stadium.  When we left it wasn't even halftime yet and Minnesota was losing 24-0.  Yikes.  We ended up finding a nice shady spot outside of the Union to throw down a blanket, change the baby, and eat lunch.  That worked out nicely.  Wren was able to play in the grass and I didn't have to face the embarrassment of wearing a Minnesota shirt in a sea of Purdue fans.
We ended up spending the rest of the day walking around campus.  It was a great day, despite the Minnesota loss! :)      

Chewing on her hat rather than wearing it.

Looking like she wants to chew on the camera 
now that the hat is back on her head.

Wren and Daddy 

Wren and Neil Armstrong.
(Notice the complete outfit change.... 
uh yeah, she pooped so much that a total change of outfit was required.)

So tired... such a busy day!

We need to get Wren some Minnesota and Purdue gear... maybe dress her in half and half next time?  :)
