Bills -vs- Cardinals part 2

So after all the anticipation, the Bills got their butts handed to them by the Cardinals, 41-17. But we still had a blast. The Stadium was awesome, there were a lot of Bills fans there. Besides getting beat, the only bad part was all (3) of the Bills scores were at the other endzone. We were seated (2) rows from the field at about the 10 yard line. Oh well, I was hoping for some good pictures, but unfortunately, due to the Arizona heat, the roof of the stadium was closed and the artificial lighting made actions shots a little harder to take than sunlight would have...Oh well, still got some good shots...

Bills -vs-Cardnials...part 1

So right after the Balloon Fiesta, me and Logan jumped in the truck and started our 6+ hour journey to see the Bills/Cards game in Phoenix. It was cool to spend some time with Logan and we had a great trip.

We arrived in Phoenix and found our Hotel, then we went to a Buffalo Original, Ted's Hot Dogs. Phoenix is the only location outside of Buffalo. http://www.tedsonline.com/ After stuffing ourselves we headed back to the Hotel. Logan wanted to go swimming...Unfortunately, even though Phoenix is still in the 80-90s during the day, it gets a little cooler at night. Logan got as far as putting a toe into the water before coming to the conclusion that swimming could wait until next summer, the pool was ice cold.

We woke up early the next morning, got some breakfast and headed to the Stadium. To my surprise, there were a ton of Bills fans, everywhere...

Below are a few pics of Logan. Both the statue and memorial pool were dedicated to Pat Tillman.


Balloon Fiesta...

So,we woke up early, 4:30am early, on Saturday to go to the Balloon Fiesta...This is one of the one bright spots of living in New Mexico. Every year it amazes me how many Balloons are in the air at one time during the mass ascension. Anyways, below area few pics. This was just the start of an action packed weekend for me and Logan, we drove out to Phoenix immediately after this event to go to the Bills game.

If anyone decides to visit us, the first week in every October is the time to do so...
