Our trip to Michigan ~ Breslin's first MSU football game

 Breslin and daddy sitting at our season ticket seats!

 The Burrill family's first football game together!  Luckily MSU won!

 Walking through all of the tailgaters.



 It's kind of chilly out of the stadium...

 Breslin telling Auntie Tina all about his first game.

 And the we won :)

 Had to grab a family shot by the original Sparty after the win.

Traditional post game tailgate with Kathie (my coach at MSU).

We did it all to give Breslin his first true MSU game day experience.  We attempted it for the Michigan game... but it was too windy.  So we tried yet again for the Minnesota game.  We started off the morning leaving the house by about 9:15 or so.  We started our rounds of tailgating.  We stopped by the Simpson's tailgate and got to hang out with them for a good hour or so, then we walked through campus and finished our pregame tailgate at the Weichman's tailgate.  Oma had bought Breslin brand new warm MSU gear for his first game... and little did we know, that the second to last home game (any game in November really) it was going to be 50 degrees and perfectly sunny with not a cloud in the sky.  Needless to say, we had too much clothing on Breslin, and ended up having to take off his jacket as soon as we got into the game because he was so warm.  We were more concerned with Breslin getting a sunburn then him being too cold.  Who would have thought?!?!  So we headed into the game around 11:45, with the game's start time being at noon.  Breslin watched the whole first quarter and did GREAT!  Slept through the entire second quarter (which I have no idea how)... made an awakening during half time and the third quarter, and then went and changed him and fed him during the fourth quarter.  Breslin was a BIG hit with all of the fans around us.  Let's just say this wasn't MSU's best showing at a football game, and when we weren't playing well, the fan's were like... at least we have a cute baby to look at!  (A few people even asked to take pictures of him!)  After the game... around 3:45 or so we did some postgame tailgating back with the Weichman's then headed over to Kathie's tailgate .  On our way over to Kathie's we walked by the Sparty statue, so we had to stop and take a pic.  Then capped off the game day experience at Kathie's tailgate.  All in all our day started around 9 am when we headed out... and then we left campus around 5 or so....  I would say Breslin is a trooper, and will do just fine in our little family :)
