In February, my brother and sister-in-law graciously invited us (and the rest of our family) to attend Super Bowl
XLII in Glendale, AZ, even Joel got a ticket. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and we had so much fun (even though it didn't quite turn out how we would have liked)! I think Joel and my nephew
Jaxon were the two youngest fans there. They did so great! Everyone who saw them wanted to stop and say hello. Before the game, they had an area called the NFL Experience set up. There were all kinds of football drills you could participate in...throwing, receiving, and running. David (my hubby), Sarah (my sister) and I had fun competing against each other. It also included headless mannequins dressed in the uniforms of all the NFL teams that you could stand behind and take pictures and an area of NFL memorabilia and facts. It was a great place to pass the time before the game. The
pre-game show with Alicia Keys was amazing and I heard the half-time show was pretty spectacular, with Tom Petty & the
Heartbreakers. (I took Joel for a diaper change during half-time and missed almost the whole show.) We had a fantastic time spending the weekend with my family and hanging out in Scottsdale. Here are some of my favorite pics.

Inside the stadium...it was pretty cool and though our seats were high, they gave a great view of the field
