2008 Illini football would not be kicked off right without a Vetter BBQ for family and friends. With everyone (yep everyone) in blue and orange we had a great time!
We played outside with the kids until kickoff at 7:30. The kids played on the swing set, in the sandbox and got in a game of washers or two.

Nicolas loved to play football just like the big guys!
The food was yummy that everyone brought. And of course it wouldn't be a Vetter BBQ without Shawn's famous marinaded pork steaks. Yum! Kai and Lexi dug in willingly... especially when there was a Cocoa Krispy football (bottom right corner of photo) waiting for them to sink their teeth into after dinner!
Then the game started and everyone headed downstairs (where more food awaited for them). Nicolas was mesmerized for at least half of the game. He watched it with the big guys. It was intense... and ultimately disheartening. Alas we lost this year. But the fun was what made us a winning team! We'll get em next year!

Doesn't Illinois have to win one for it to be a rivalry game?
