Riders vs. Eskimos - Sept 26, 2009

Well me and the hubby made the trek to Edmonton once again this year to see the Riders play the Eskimos at Commonwealth stadium. Saturday started out as a semi-nice day so we made the trip to the game via the LRT forgetting to bring coats or cold-weather wear. BIG MISTAKE. It was very windy and raining at certain points of the game. I darn near froze my butt off and was thankful for the lounge and some alcoholic drinks. We enjoyed the game, I cheered like crazy and the outcome was a big W for the Riders - 23-20 much to my husbands dismay.

It amazes me how many people strike up a conversation with the Rider/Eskimo couple. I had one drunk say "man that's so cool" as we walked by and several people comment on how "that must be true love". I always thinks it's hilarious, and we have had our many fights over football but we have come to a place where we both try not to take it TOO seriously and have some fun with it.

All and all a great weekend and it was very nice to see Kevin's Sister and her boyfriend and do a bit of shopping in the wonderful city of Edmonton!
