Vikings vs Detriot Lions

When Brian and I got married, I was so happy he didn’t spend time watching sports on TV. As time passed, more and more often, he’d be watching a game of football or golf. I really wasn’t interested in watching football games and certainly not on TV; however that changed about 5 years ago when we started going to games at the dome. I love hearing all the sights, seeing all the sounds and smelling the popcorn and hotdogs. Throw in a Summit beer and I’m set!

In another attempt to give us a little bit of home, our public affairs office coordinated a live feed of the game. It wasn’t the excitement of the dome but all in all, it was a good time. Below are some shots I captured.

I have to apologize for my minimal postings this month. Major Riha is on leave and I’m currently the acting company commander. He can’t get back soon enough!

Captain Snare. The previous night there was a try out to blow the horn. CPT Snare won and got to start the game off with a toot from the horn.



Frostie and Brownie. I had left my camera unattended and found the pictures they left me! Nice one, Ladies!
