Last weekend Nick took me to a Vikings football game at the new US Bank Stadium for an early birthday present. It was the first time I had been inside their new stadium. We made a weekend out of it. It was a great weekend! Time to talk…about football, music, school, exercise…life in general! The football game is what brought the memory together, but it was not about football! There is no question that football, and in particular, the Vikings, has brought a lot of memories to our family over the years.
Even when Nick was little he was wearing his Vikings attire! We went to quite a few games when they were younger. All bringing back good memories.
We even had our Christmas card the one year with us all wearing our Vikings jerseys!
There is something about the atmosphere of being at the game…the fireworks going off at the beginning, all of he cheering, fans screaming!
I took a picture of Nick against one of their walls in the new stadium…
Honor the game! But more important, honor the memories that have come about from all of the times we have had over the years cheering them on. You develop a common bond that we have in common. It is not about football…but football brought those times together. That is what was fun. That is what will have a lifetime of memories. It was a great weekend to spend with Nick. Hopefully, we can do this more often…I can spring for the next game! Time really does go by fast. As you can see by the pictures, we have been having some kind of bond with the Vikings for years. If that is what helps bring us closer together at times, then so be it. Spend time with those who matter to you in your life. Have lasting memories to share forever. It has been fun over the years. I just keep telling myself…”It is not about football”…Have a great week coming. Keep moving everybody!
