Super Bowl LII Comes to Town

Minneapolis hosted Super Bowl 52 (LII). Adrea was a Crew 52 volunteer and Tim did the polar plunge at Super Bowl Live on the Nicollet Mall. Adrea planned an evening outing for me and the boys to take in some of the Super Bowl fun. We got to see the ice sculptures and do some football photo ops before watching Tim (in a hawaiian penguin outfit) jump in freezing cold water.






At the end of Nicollet Mall, we watched the omni-like film "NFL 360" before heading to the NFL Experience at the convention center. We only had 2 hours there and there were lines for everything, but we got as much done as we could. The boys got to run obstacle courses, test out their punting skills -  Adrea had to show them how to punt, and see how they'd look as Vikings players.

It was fun to feel the excitement in Minneapolis and see all the hubbub. When I asked Gavin a few days later what his favorite part of our trip downtown was, he answered that it was seeing Tim do the polar plunge. You never know what is going to be a hit with kids.
