Redskins/Rams Game

Nisa and I went shopping at BJ's on Friday night with our friends Mike and Kara to load up on tailgating "stuff". I think we did well on our purchases. We bought a LOT of things for about 8-10 people tailgating but at least we had everything. I'd rather be over prepared then under.

Overall, it was a REALLY good time. Steve was the main man on the grill. He attempted to grill hotdogs, hamburgers and sausages but after doing a ton of hamburgers and hotdogs (and all but ONE hotdog rolling off the grill onto the ground, poor guy!) he gave up. Billy and his firend, Rick, road with us and they brought cornhole for us to play.

The game itself was okay. I had fun just being there but we ended up winning at only 9-7. That had to be the lowest scoring game I have seen in a long time, if not ever!
On to the pictures...
We had Nisa's moms car, our Tahoe (whoop, whoop!) and another friend's pickup truck all lined up so we had plenty of space to grill and play.
Part of our table set up...
Another angle with Nisa and her mom.
We made a U shape with our cars so we had out own little alcove.
All of us in jerseys of course!
Some of the boys playing cornhole...
I tried to step back far so I could get our whole setup. I couldn't get it all in the picture.
Rick in the pickup next to us
Probably my favorite picture of the day with FedEx field in the background
The girls
Part of the group
The Master Griller
The bee we caught in the bottle. We named him Bulger for the Rams player. Cause we TRAPPED him!
Another one of my favorite pictures. WITH THE SUPER SKIN! YESSSS!!
While Steve and I were walking up to FedEx. Tons of people!
Still walking up and stopping for a quick picture
Lining up on the field.
My first attempt at a picture in our seats. Not bad for me taking it.
And, then the kind man behind us offered to take one of us with our backs to the field.
We ran into my old co-worker at half-time
We went back to our car after the game that did a great job in helping us tailgate
We waited for the parking lot to empty out a little more so we could play more cornhole.
We met up with Billy's dad and his girlfriend in the parking lot and ended up driving them back to their car.
His dad's car was at the Pentagon. So, we took him there and Steve wanted to pretend...
In his pretending, he couldn't figure out how to open the door back up. So, his dad's girlfriend had to help him out.
It was such a fun day and I want to do it again!
