Redskins Practice

Today we had the opportunity to go to see the Redskins practice.  This was the last of the practices open to the public, and Mark’s co-worker invited us to the section he had reserved at the 50-yard line.  We had a great view of the practice, and I was allowed to take pictures, so here are some of the shots from our afternoon.

Obviously, seeing RGIII play was a big hit.  There is definitely a lot of buzz in Washington about him, and we fans are hoping for good things from him this season!  It was a hot afternoon, and Nina and Lyla weren’t as into the practice as we adults were, but they managed to make it the couple hours with plenty of whining and requests for icy treats.

DSC_0024 The highlight of the afternoon was after practice when RGIII actually came right over to our specific area to sign autographs.  Bo had brought a helmet with him, and he got RGIII’s signature on it.  Bo is a big Redskin fan, so this was quite the score for him!

  1. Greetings from Dallas Nation:
    I will bet you that Dallas win more games this year than the Redskins. The Loser must buy the Winner a dinner in Reston Town Center and wear the Winner's team hat (i.e., Mandy has to wear a Dallas hat) all day the first Saturday after the Super Bowl.

    With much hope,
    Mary "Romo" Roberts

    1. You're on! Hopefully this season we won't find Mary "Romo" Roberts following in the footsteps of the very eloquent Jerry Jones incorporating, "I want me some glory hole," into her regular Sunday game-watching routine!

  2. To quote a former Dallas receiver, Terrell Owens -- "i love me some me" and I will enjoy my free dinner from Mandy. hahaha!
