It's All About The "U"

On Saturday, October 28th we all took a trip to Durham, NC and the Campus of Duke University to see the football game between the Miami Hurricanes and the Duke Blue Devils at Wallace Wade Stadium. It was Amaryllis' first Miami game, Bobby III and Melanie's third Miami game (and my 22nd Miami Game). Everyone had a great time at the game. Bobby was too young at his previous football games to remember or get into the game, but this time he really did get into the game, asking many questions. The best question the he asked was "Where is the blue line that we see on TV?" referring to the Line of Scrimage computer generated line that the TV networks put on the screen. Amaryllis was pretty much attached to Mommy during the game, though there was a moment of brother and sister loving on each other. During the fourth quarter they announced that any kids who pick up 100 of the plastic drink cups in the stands and bring them to the recycling area will get a free gift...well we could not pass that up..could we?!? So Bobby started walking around the stadium dumping and picking up plastic cups, Melanie and I also took turns and we did get 100 cups and turned them in and Bobby got a little Duke clock (Duke was only the villain on this day so its ok). After the game as we were walking through the stadium, Melanie saw a University of Miami cheerleader walking with her parents, Mel stopped and asked if she would take a picture with Amaryllis. The cheerleader was excited to do so and so was her mother who got out her camera as well. as you can see the only one not thrilled about the idea was Amaryllis. It was a great time, for all the reasons, but of course it was great for the real reason
MIAMI HURRICANES 49 - DUKE BLUE DEVILS 31.
