A Very Super (Bowl) Weekend

Last weekend, we celebrated the Super Bowl by spending the weekend in Eugene at my parents' house. We did all sorts of fun stuff, like:

 Go to the "Tie-Dye and Tofu" exhibit at the Pioneer Museum and listen to my parents talk about their commune days and what it was like to live in Eugene during the '70s. 

My sister and her friend Emily (which, believe me, I am always confused hanging out with other Emilys) also came along, but unfortunately Josh had to work. (Helen's the one on the left wearing the awesome shirt of a polar bear fishing with a narwhal and the owl skirt).

 Go to TWO basketball games where I finagled second-row tickets (because they were already my family's but I laid claim to them).

We made my parents sit in the stands with the rest of the lowly fans, but they were nice enough to wave to us.

We were on screen during the televised broadcast of the game for all of two seconds. Josh got a bunch of text messages as we were leaving Matt Court from friends saying they had seen us.

In addition to cooking all morning, we also watched the game. My mom even bought cheeseheads for us! We were so excited the entire time-- it was such a good game!

 My niece Alice wore her Packers cheerleader outfit. She made sure Josh displayed double the cheesehead pride.

 This is my sister with her daughter. My bro-in-law was in Utah with my nephews, so they didn't get to watch it with us.

Me, eating all the food Josh made.


That pretty much summarizes our fun, awesome weekend. Totally do.
