Pink Piano Babies, Hail to the Victors: Let's Go Blue!!

Sightseeing Saturday and Pink Saturday: a weekly double post!

Another Pink adventure is happening in our house. I have been frantically walking around the house, trying to find some pinks so I can join Beverly at http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/my_weblog/. And then, when I got to the living room, wah lah!...... there they are, my 2 pairs of piano babies with a lot of pinkness!
Aren't they just the cutest things?
Just look at those innocent faces!

Thanks Beverly, for allowing me to participate! Now don't forget to visit her to see more lovely pinkness!


And now for our weekly sightseeing!

It's Saturday and you all know I am taking you on a trip today. If anybody wants to participate, please copy the SS logo on your website so people will know that you are a participant. Enter your name and permalink below where Mr. Linky is. I have to do this in advance again because believe it or not, I am going on a trip again on Thursday and won't be back until Monday.

Last week, I showed you a trip we took a few years ago to Ann Arbor, Michigan, to watch the Wolverines' football game. Today, I am showing you pictures of our recent trip, the first game of this season. I took so many pictures and I like a lot of them. I had a hard time deciding which ones to upload or leave out so I just created a bunch of mosaics so I can show you a lot. You can of course, enlarge the pictures by clicking.
We took AJ with us, in addition, we also took John's daughter and her hubby. Below are pictures of buildings at the University of Michigan. I just love old brick and stone buildings. The first 2 pictures is the dorm where John stayed the first year of College. The next is Hutchins Hall and Law School. You will also see the Diag, Burton Bell Tower, Michigan Union where John F. Kennedy stood and first defined the Peace Corps in 1960. Also pictured below are very nice sorority houses and a Congregational Church. We went to the pep rally and watched the cheerleaders, dancers and Michigan Marching Band perform. We sat on a hill and then, we had a hard time getting up. AJ had to pull us up. LOL! There was so much food and it was all free.

The next day, we dressed up in maize and blue, to cheer our team. On our way to where the marching band muster, we passed by lots of students having tail gate parties. You can feel so much of excitement everywhere! These students sure have fun!

Here, the marching band gathered, uniforms inspected and performed some moves. Then they all headed to the Big House Michigan stadium and the crowd followed. Did you notice John's shirt? I think he was the only one wearing purple, lol. And to think that he has so many Michigan shirts but you know, that shirt saved AJ and me a lot of aggravation. We got separated from our group because of the crowd and all I had to do was look for someone wearing something different and I found him. That purple shirt sure stood out amongst all the blue and maize. LOL!

It was a record attendance, 119,019 spectators. Just look at all those people!

Of course, our team won. These were the final scores. GO BLUE!!!

I took videos of the band's performance. John is very proud of this marching band. He keeps telling me that they are the best in the world and I have to admit, I was impressed and I really enjoyed watching them. Enjoy!


I don't understand football but I sure enjoyed watching the marching band play.
