Ah, feel the blue and gold. Since we were in California, there is no way E and I could pass up seeing a Cal game. It would be unheard of! I was so excited because I have only been to like three games since I graduated, and it's been since before N was born that I sat in Memorial Stadium. It was good to be back... especially since the Bears won!
Here is one of my new favorite photos of our family in front of the Campanile before the game. That is one good looking blue and gold family!
We attended the Cal Band's pregame concert on Sproul Plaza as a family. The boys loved watching the band. They were especially mesmerized by the drums, and even did some dancing. We taught them how to say a proper "Go Bears!" And they kept repeating it throughout the day, even later when we were watching Penn State and Ohio State on TV... hmmm, we'll have to work a bit on context!
The Cal Band's pregame show. I may be a little biased, but I think there are the best band in the land!
Hard to believe it's been as long as it has since E and I graced that field. See that little tail at the top right of the a in the script Cal? That was my spot, just a few years ago! (Insert all your comments about our dorkyness here...)
It was insanely hot out. Like unseasonably warm. I was glad that this time I was in shorts and a T-shirt instead of a black wool band uniform!
L, Dad, and T came to the game too. Cal fans by association!
Two generations of Cal grads. Actually, E is a third generation Cal grad, his grandfather attended Cal as well, along with various other aunts, uncles, and cousins. No pressure N and little e!
Anyway, it was a really fun game, and to make it even better Cal actually won by a substantial margin! Why couldn't they ever do that when we actually went there?

Go Bears Indeed. That was a really fun day. I can't resist...another Go Bears!
I'm jealous! I've been wanting to go to a football game since fall started. And wow...what pressure for N and little e. LOL :P I'm glad J turned down Standford for the AFA. We wouldn't have been able to be friends otherwise, huh? I hope R has forgiven J for wearing the Stanford shirt to N's bday party earlier this year. I had warned him not to do it.
