The other weekend we drove home to the U.P. for the NMU vs. MTU fooptball game. It was Rylee's first trip to the U.P. We were a little worried about the long trip home, but once again, Rylee was a road warrior. The way up there was pretty easy. My mom was with us and we left on Thursday and went to Jaclynn and Jason's to spend the night. Rylee slept the entire 4 hours. She had no clue that we were driving through nasty weather. There were tornados throughout lower Michigan and we were driving right through them all. Luckily we were a little ahead of the storms and they never quite caught up with us. We got to the Kreider's late Thursday night and left early Friday morning but at least we got to see them for a few hours. Friday the weather was a lot better and my mom sat in the back and entertained Rylee when she wasn't sleeping. Sunday we had to make the trip all in one long haul but Rylee was so good for us. She's at a good age for traveling.
Saturday was the big game, NMU vs. MTU. It ended up coming down to the wire and our defense held MTU 4 consecutive plays from inside the 2 yard line, for us to come away with the victory 34-27! It was great! I was so happy for my dad and my brother...I know how bad we all wanted to beat Tech. Unfortunately, my brother Brad hurt his knee at the end of the game. We were all very sad for him after the game because we knew it was pretty bad and that game might have been his last of his career. He had such a good game though and was a huge part of the victory over the Huskies. It is going to be different next year watching the games and not having Brad out there. He is so much fun to watch and we sure did enjoy watching him throughout his great career! We are so proud of him for all of his accomplishments and all that he had to overcome! Here's a few pictures from the game.
"Good game Uncle Brad! Sorry I slept through part of it" Love, Rylee
