What a day....Miami Dolphins!



Bring it on Baby!
Oh man, what a day, what a game!

Going to a NFL game is amazing!

WE had great seats.
(RY wanted to be close if we were going all the way to Miami!)
It was a day to remember.


We walked in and it was nonstop energy the entire 4 hours.


Let me just say, this game was the highlight or our trip!
It was a beautiful day... hot sunny 94 degrees.
we were in Miami going to a Dolphin game!

We actually planned are entire trip around this game.

Miami 3 days, Key Largo 3 days...

In the morning we hung out on South Beach and then at 2:00, we put
our jerseys on over our swimsuits,



and we were off to the BIG GAME.


I love my Miami Dolphin tank Ry got me!

Like I said earlier, this is Ryan's team, his second love,
his passion, his
M I A M I Dolphin LOVE.

He was so excited to finally take me to a game. He goes once a year to a game and I have never gone, this time it worked out. It was one of the funnest afternoons ever.

I loved it.


WE pulled up from the taxi and RY could not wait.

He was here with his dolphins, his home team, his boys.
and immediately the energy filled the air.

It was a sight to see...

the fans were loud,
REALLY loud,
screaming and cheering for their Dolphins.
The New Orleans Saints fans were givin it right back....

"WHO DAT??"

SO many Miami Dolphin fans...tailgate parties, so many Marino jerseys,

shirts, hats, the famous turquoise and orange colors...
Fans every where!


(Chris from American Idol was there singing....cute boy!)

The air was charged full of emotion and excitement for the teams.
it was a happy day, Ry was home.


I do have to say,

seeing Ry in his moment, looking up at

his stadium,

soaking it all in....
made me so happy.
I kind of had a happy moment for him.

sooo cheesy I know!

He loves his boys, Ry is very loyal,

he has stood behind the dolphins for 30 years,

4 Superbowl's in 30 years,
the last one when Ry was born...1973...sad!
Ry is definitely not a front runner...He cheers every game,

supporting them in all of their wins and losses....

(and definitely waaaay more losses.)

That is ONE loyal fan.

The crowd, the cheerleaders, the music,
it was such a fun afternoon.
I loved watching the game.
It was a great game in fact in the second quarter with
17 seconds left, the
score was 24 to 10 for the Dolphins.....



But it started off great.....The Dolphins were off
.....touchdown, one, two, three.....

everyone was cheering and happy and screaming for the Dolphins.
It was so fun being in the stands, with the music, and the crowd.


Never a dull moment....I loved going to an NFL game....


And by third quarter the Saints were coming back....
And can I say it was H O T!

I mean sweltering, sweating, humid hot! I have Never been that hot in my life....

well when I can't jump in a pool or cool off in a lake hot.

We sat on the west side and the

sun

B E A T

down on us for hours.


I had to keep getting diet Pepsi's for 5 bucks to stay cooled off....

rip off!

and they had no chocolate in the stadium..unheard of...

only beer, hot dogs, burgers and fries! NO thanks!

Cute Paco sat next to me,

He would pull out his binoculars and unscrew the top and pour

a little liquor into his cokes....

By the end of the game, He was happy and giddy and not really "there"

He came up to my shoulders and would always smile so big at me and say

"Lady, lady, high five, and Hi lady, the Dolphins win...."

He was a cute guy except he was sweating on my diet Pepsi.

He was in black plants and a thick shirt....oh man. He just kept unscrewing his binocs for his liquor...I was laughing and laughing...

RY made friends with the guy next to him who came all the way from Philly for the game.

A die hard just like RY...

they were buds the whole game.

was glad RY had someone to talk the game with!

see the guy on the other side of RY with his half face...I

In the end, Miami lost. It hurt. It hurt big time. But the Saints were undefeated and Miami held their ground...I just kept thinking, who can play football in this heat?? wow! Miami did great! Final score: saints 46 Dolphins 34

Overall, I was so glad to go to a game with Ry and experience his Miami Love.

Ry has his passions in life and so do I, they keep us going day to day so I was so happy to be apart of his!!

What a fun day, one I won't forget, hopefully one day, all the boys can go

with dad to a game.....
Now I am hooked and try to watch the games with him.

On the weekends, Austin and Jake can't wait for the Dolphin games

and they go down to the man cave, turn on the game,

play soccer and cheer for their team!



Thanks Ry for sharing your passion with me!


Loved it, and love you!

That was a long post all for Ry. I can't imagine loving a NFL team that much. A state team I can. Wow. That's great he got to see what he loves to watch. My fav part was Chris. I like that guy. Too hot for a game. Did you sweat.

I loved reading about your football game experience. Glad you loved it too. Sports fans are an interesting group. I am glad that you got to be there and share it all with Ry. Some things are never forgotten!

ha ha ha "cute Paco?" I bet you were just a little triggered by the sweat and all the "high-fiving" going on!

I'm so happy that Ryan has a true passion in life. I think that is so important. I think it's awesome that you fully support him in that. You are an awesome wifey.

p.s.you look so dang hot and tan and buff and cute, etc...in your white tank top!
