49ers!

Greg has been a 49ers fan all his life but he had never been to a game... until last weekend. :) On Sunday, November 14, we attended the 49ers vs Rams game at Candlestick Park. Some friends of ours have season tickets and we were able to get their tickets to this game. The seats are amazing! We were 6 rows behind the 49ers bench on the 30 yard line. It felt like we could practically reach out and touch the players.

And, boy, are the season ticket holders a rowdy bunch! One guy in the row behind us was quite the heckler! He would heckle anyone about anything and at a very loud volume! Made for a very interesting game.

It actually was a very exciting game with lots of penalties and two 49ers touchdowns taken away. 49ers led 20 to 17 in the last seconds of the game. The the Rams kicked a field goal to tie it up, sending the game into overtime. Rams won the coin toss but thankfully the 49ers were able to stop them and get possession of the ball. Once they got down the field, they were able to kick a field goal for the win: 23 to 20. There was a lot of energy in the crown and overall was a very good experience. Never a dull moment.

Greg's sister was a huge help by watching our boys for the day. It turned out to be a very long day indeed and we couldn't have gone to the game without her help.

We had such a fun day and it was so great to be with Greg as he experienced his first game. :)
