Detroit

If you know Patrick very well, you know he LOVES the Detroit Lion's. He's been their most loyal fan since he was a little boy. When we were first married I asked him why he didn't just pick another team to root for, a team that actually had a chance of winning. It's not like we lived in Detroit or anything... Needles to say, he wasn't too happy with my comment, and to my amazement, his loyalty has paid off. The Lion's are an up and coming team.

I've learned all about Matthew Stafford, Calvin Johnson, and Ndamakong Suh.
And they recently drafted Kellen Moore, Boise State's star QB, Patricks favorite college team.

When Pat's dad and his best friend Robin, invited Pat to Detroit to watch the Lion's and Boise State play all in one weekend, Pat jumped all over the opportunity. Patrick was literally giddy as he packed his Lion's jersey and Boise State shirt to wear to the games.

They left early Thursday morning, and caught their flight out of SLC.
Pat caught up on his favorite team during the flight.  

First stop was Ford Field to watch the Lion's play their preseason game against 
the Buffalo Bills.

Friday night Boise State played Michigan State.

Pat and Dorsie were surprised to find they had brought the same Boise shirt :)

And hey, why not hit up a Tiger's baseball game? Ultimate boy's weekend.

Pat brought home Ledger a souvenir, he caught a foul ball.
Along with a little Lion's t shirt. 

I was a little disappointed I missed such a momentous trip, I would have loved to see Patrick so excited. But, I was assured I would be invited to the next game... Then he paused and said, "Or maybe Ledger."
 I just laughed. 

Thanks Dorsie and Robin for fulfilling one of Patrick's dreams. 
He sure did have fun.
