This weekend, Jon & I headed to Mt Pleasant for a much-needed weekend getaway. We were given free tickets by CMU to see the "big" football game, Michigan State vs. Central Michigan (Jon's alma mater). Not only were the seats in a great spot, but we were also invited to the Presidential Tent before and after the game for food and drinks!
(Before I tell our story, I want to give a big "THANK-YOU!!" to my Mom & Dad for taking care of Blake while we were gone!)

Row 2, seats 29 & 30. Aisle seats right behind the 42-yard line!
They had many activities before the game, including this rock climbing wall. I love activities which involve heights so I was pretty excited! |

Made it to the top!

I convinced Jon to take a turn as well.

 |
| He climbed it much quicker than I did. |

The Outdoor Discovery Center (from Holland!) was there with some of their animals.

They always say to conquer your fears head on. I am terrified of snakes. With my heart pounding, I decided that I would hold a snake. Even though I'm smiling, I'm completely petrified.
Feeling the snake slither through my hands gave me the heebie jeebies. I'm NEVER holding one again. EVER!
|
 |
We acquired a lot of free stuff!
|
 |
After taking part in the fun activities, it was time to find our seats and get ready for the game.
|
 |
This is Jon's "I'm excited to watch a football game" face!

Amazing seats, right behind the Michigan State team!
|
 |
There were 35,000+ fans there, as evident when we looked to our left ...
|
 |
... and looked to our right. LOTS of people!
 |
| A huge State fan! |
|
 |
The lights look like flames!
