Tiger on the swings!

We were at Laurelhurst Park today for a picnic hosted by Kate's boot camp instructor. It was a lot of fun. I ended up participating in a sack race, several relay races, an egg toss and a push up contest against a 10-year-old girl. To make it more fair, Will sat on my back during that showdown. Just for the record, I still totally won.

After the picnic, we wandered over to an area that Radio Disney had taken over. They had free face painting for kids, so we had Will done up as a tiger. Here's a picture I took with my cell phone. Pretty cute.

USC-Ohio State Game Day (1 of 2)

We'd all been excited for this day for a long time. #1 USC vs. #5 Ohio State. We got up in the morning, decorated the house, put on our game day gear and then... we need to kill some time. I mean, the game wasn't until 5 p.m.

So it was off to the park. As you can see, it was a very nice day.

Up.
Down.
Trojan pole dancing.

USC-Ohio State Game Day (2 of 2)

After the park, we headed over to our local Obama campaign office to pick up some yard signs. As we were walking in, some guy in a truck drove by and yelled out, "Go Buckeyes!" We thought it was adorable.

Then it was off to do some grocery shopping. Several people struck up conversations with us. We also got plenty of dirty looks from people who are not Trojan fans.

Following the store was lunch, then Will went down for his nap. When he woke up, we still had time to kill. So we went for a walk down near the river.

My two best friends.
This is the pose Will strikes when you ask to see his muscles.
He needed a boost to reach the water fountains.
And then he ran some sprints.
Then it was back to the house, where we watched USC destroy Ohio State 35-3. Still #1. I'm feeling really good about this year's team.
