Dads Dads Everywhere!

As Gavin wrote about on his blog, it was Dad’s weekend here at Illinois and you could feel the excitement on campus!

I personally had my entire family come down on Saturday and thought I would share a few fun pictures!

As my family and I headed over to a tailgate, we ran into Cookie Monster along the way!  He was giving away free Insomnia Cookies (a fabulous cookie store on campus!) before the game.  Here is a peak at my sister and I posing with him:

The weather was perfect, the game was exciting; if only it had ended differently. Regardless of the outcome, it still was a great time and fun to see all of the dads and families there!  During the half-time of the game, the Marching Illini members had their dad’s come out on the field and perform with them.  Who knew so many dads had such hidden talents; they never cease to amaze me!

Of course after the game my family stopped by the TIS Bookstore to pick up some more Illini gear. Can you ever have enough?!  We also enjoyed a rowdy lunch at Firehaus, home to my favorite french fries ever (who would turn down a free meal?).  All in all, it was a great day and it’s always fun to see everyone enjoying the Illinois campus with their dad’s!

Stay Classy Chambana!
