I can't believe it took me so long to get these photos up! I guess because so many friends and family are on Facebook, I've kinda figured everyone has seen all these photos, but for those of you that aren't on Facebook, I apologize for being so lame! This was a VERY exciting time in our family. Drew not only got to go to his first STEELERS game, but he got to go to the BROWNS/STEELERS game at Heinz field!! Aunt Katy scored some tickets for his birthday and told him about them the beginning of September. I'm thankful she didn't tell him any sooner, because it was a long 6 weeks or so as the excitement grew for the game!!
Here are Drew and Daddy, heading to the stadium, sporting their Steelers jersey's. Now, for those of you that know Nate, don't get too concerned... the Rothlesberger jersey is actually Drew's. Nate has not been converted from a Brown's fan/Niners fan to a Steelers fan, he just values his life and wanted to fit in and not cause any problems with his young son beside him! Katy took this photo and I LOVE it! I think I'm going to blow it up and frame it for the basement!
I guess my mom put in a request for a "Daily Record" shot. I don't think she did anything with it, but here is Drew, at Heinz field with his Daily Record!
Some group shots at their seats! Yes, they had AMAZING seats! Aunt Katy has some great contacts. They sat in a great section, and the people around them just took Drew in! They found out it was his first game and they showed him the ropes! The cheers to do, how to twirl his Terrible Towel, High fives as the Steelers scored! It was a memory he will cherish forever!
Can you tell they had BEAUTIFUL weather, too!! What a blessing this game was! Here Nate and Drew take a moment down by the field before the game!
Colt McCoy got his first NFL start at this game! Another part that Drew will likely be able to tell his kids some day! And this play was the drive to his FIRST NFL TOUCHDOWN!! Very exciting stuff! (but of course the Steelers won!)
Had to give a shot of Big Ben and the Steelers offense!
And THIS is why I respect Peyton Hillis, a little pre-game preparation like non other!
I found out Drew's Uncle Jer was pretty envious! He brought it up again at Thanksgiving that his nephew got to go to a game at Heinz Field before he did, and he's a lifer Steelers fan! Maybe they can go together next time and Drew can show him the ropes! ;)
I think Aunt Katy wins the prize of best present ever this year! I guess when your young and single you can spoil the neices and nephews like that! This is an event that Drew will remember for the rest of his life, and that, my friends, is PRICELESS!!!!
