For Christmas Will received a trip to the Rose Bowl to see his TCU Horned Frogs take on Wisconsin. (See this post for a picture of the happy frog with his ticket.) If you watched the game, you know what an exciting and great match it was and that it ended very well for the Horned Frogs, with a final score of TCU 21 - Wisconsin 19. By Will's account the Rose Parade was "cool, but long" and Rose Bowl experience itself was "awesome" and "amazing."
I pleaded with Will before he left to please take some pictures for me, and he assured me that he would. You would think that after 19 years with this boy, I would understand the need to be specific when making requests, but somehow the need to add "with you in at least one of them" did not occur to me.
Will's seat was on the front row in the corner of an endzone directly behind the TCU band

Sons do not always seem to understand a mother's desire for photographs including them! I was thrilled for the Frogs, and even happier that Will was there in person. My dream is to someday work as a volunteer on the construction of the floats. I think that would be amazing!

I unintentionally contaminated all of the pictures on my blog when I changed my privacy settings on Flickr. I am working backwards to correct them all, but it is quite a tedious procedure! If you encounter a post with error messages from Flickr where the pictures should be, then I haven't gotten to that post yet. Please let me know and I will update it immediately. Thanks for your patience!
