Purdue Spring Game and Bug Bowl 2014

 Last Saturday it was a B-E-A-YOOOO-tiful day.  Seriously.  Gorgeous.  So we went to the Purdue Spring Foozball game (just like last year only the weather was a little different). 
 Tommy picked out his outfit, obvi.  He's such a trendsetter.  Oh and yes he is wearing his sunglasses upside down. 

 They were adult-sized sunglasses and they didn't fit very well.  He refused to take his hand off them because he didn't want them to fall down.  Too funny.

Down in the end zone, they had a Purdue celebrity cook off.  Mike Alstott is on the right.  Rosevelt Colvin is in black in the back.  Not sure who the other people are though. 

 In other celebrity news, we ran into Mike Hoffman (we remember him from our South Bend days) so Erin and Doug took a picture of him with Flat Charlie. 

Tommy enjoyed running around on the field. 

 Then he enjoyed some lunch in the stands. 

Sister-in-law picture in the stands! Go Boilers! (Totally stole this picture)

 The view from the stands was phenomenal.  Field looks GREAT.

 I tried to convince Tommy to get his picture taken with the Drew Brees bobble head.  Instead I ended up with Tommy taking MY picture. 

Tommy quickly got bored with the foozball game so we headed over to the Bug Bowl and Springfest. 
 We meandered through the tents and saw this poor cow.  She sneezed when I wasn't expecting it and it scared the crap out of me.  Also, we have imitated their pathetic moos since Saturday.  It wasn't so much a "MOOOOOO" but a "UUUHHHHGGGGHHUUUUUOOOOOOOOO". But if you were livestock getting milked by random children all day in a hot tent, you might be complaining too. 

 Then it was time for Tommy's favorite part.... BUGS!!   Gross.  Not my favorite part. 

The blue glowing butterflies were pretty darn cool though. 

 Yes.  This is what you think it is.  Andrew was stopping Tommy from ripping off the lid of the tarantula cage. Bllleeecchhhh.  But he was super excited.

This was some sort of lizard thingy.  Tommy got to pet it.  So did I.  I liked this non-jumpy being a lot better than dead bugs with pins stuck through them.  No clue why.  He was a calm and chill little guy, maybe that's why.

We had a great time yet again! Fun times at our alma mater.
