Green Bay Weekend

Enjoying a little corn on the cob

Jumping in the pool at the hotel in Green Bay

So happy!!

The players take the field to warm up

Getting a little practice in before the rain cancelled the event

Keeping ourselves busy while we wait out the rain....

An empty, wet Lambeau....

The masses of people waiting out the rain and storms...after an hour or so, we decided to leave and not wait to see if they were cancelling the scrimmage, which they did...they still handed out jerseys however and set off the fireworks. Our hotel was just down the street so we were able to watch them from the parking lot. It was another year of not getting a jersey...however my dad and brother each won an autographed item at the Friday night Packer Partners banquet! Dad got a football signed by Atari Bigby and Steve got a helmet signed by Al Harris...this is three years in a row that the Nelsons have brought home something!

Sunday morning we headed over to Bay Beach on Lake Michigan.

Big sister Allie helps Lex with her shoes

She loves to walk around with a phone (or in this case, and Ipod) and babble!
