I surprised the boys tonight with a trip to Menards. Now what's so exciting about going to a huge hardware store.....Jordy Nelson was there for their Grand Opening. Those who know us know we love Jordy Nelson. Those that don't....Jordy Nelson is a former Kstater and now plays for the Green Bay Packers. Brett has been a huge fan since he played at KSU. Blake also knows who he is. We stood in line with hats, a jersey, footballs and Brett's copy of Sports Illustrated with Jordy on the cover for 2 hours before we got our autographs. The boys did farely well with the waiting. Lucky for us we had a very nice couple behind us who had an adorable little girl that we chatted with. They were also very tolerable of my boys antics.
The boys meet their idol.
He was so nice to sign all our stuff but because there were soooo many people he signed while the pics were taken to keep the line moving. He was there from 6-8pm and we got our stuff signed at 7:50pm so I don't know if all the people that were still in line got their stuff signed or not.....the line was sooooo crazy long.
Our signed loot. Naturally the first thing the boys asked was if they could take their footballs out of the box and play with them.....UMMMMM NOOOOOO!! I did not stand in line for 2 hours so you could lose/scuff an autographed football.
