GO BILLS!!

Michael won a contest sponsered by Perry's Ice Cream for the biggest Buffalo Bills fans in the country. There were 10 first prize winners and one grand prize winner. Michael was one of the 10 first prize winners that scored two tickets to the first home game, an awesome "50 years" commemorative jersey and a once and a life-time chance to see the pre-game on the sidelines! Unfortunately, they would not postpone the game until Mar. '10 when Michael returns. So Michael's mom and I did him proud! We had a blast and had some great seats! All of the people we met were incredible and all thought that Michael should have won the grand prize of season tickets and and invitation to Jim Kelly's private tail gate party. The grand prize winner, Bill Fox, was actually a pretty cool guy and offered to get something autographed by Jim Kelly for Michael! Here are a few of the pictures... I'll try to post more later. I have tried to post this for several days and my computer is acting funny with the picture uploading.

Yes, this is T.O.! And yes, we were that close to him! But, apparantly being an "ULTIMATE Bills Fan" isn't enough to score you an autograph.

Our Camping Trip

Michael and the kids and I had a great time "camping" by Seneca Lake while he was home. I use the term camping loosely as we had indoor plumbing and a refrigerator in our cabin. The place was actually great for kids with the indoor pool and the jumping pillow. They also had a couple of cool playgrounds. Grammy and Papa even came up one afternoon to babysit while Michael and I hiked the nearby falls. We even adopted a fine furry friend..... this stinkin skunk would NOT leave us alone.
