A little orange in a sea of blue and white.
The Western Prince and his parents came to cheer Ill-Ini on to a 30-13 rout of the PSU "girls" football team. We took the Fullington from Target for $7 each. It took us 30 min to travel those 5 miles so that ticket was well worth its price.
Tailgating with Diana from DuBois and her family set us up for a good time. Thanks Diana.
There's not much to say about the game: sunny, mid 70's, good seats (NF26) middle of the north endzone for slightly over face value. I thought we'd see half the game at our end. We did, but it was the wrong half. The Prince slept through most of the game, even when his father cheered ILL- to receive -INI from across the endzone; he has quite a cheering voice.

More tailgating and a quick bus ride back to Target since most of the stadium had emptied at the 3rd quarter. Penn State has an impressive system to move 107K people around on a Saturday afternoon. Even the bag check line moved faster than the airlines'.
All of us but the Prince were exhausted by the sunny afternoon; it couldn't have been the excitement of the game, for sure. He entertained us all evening chasing himself and the 3 dogs around the house, finding buttons everywhere including on the soles of Oma's slippers and knots in the wood, and testing his vocab (who needs TV?).

4 Generations
early 90s cousin's wedding
Every few years we have a 4 generation photo-op. It's not to be missed.

Happy 1st Birthday Western Prince
We traveled to Roselle to celebrate. Lady Ariel and Graf vonEnaml throw quite a party. Over 70 people were invited; more than 50 showed up despite a morning torrential downpour and forecast 90 degrees. It never got above 75 and the rain stopped just as the party began. Ribs and other grilled stuff was the main (food) attraction. A science lady entertained the kids with slime, silly putty and a rocket launch. The park had a pavilion near a small water park which helped wash off the rib juice and cake icing. The cake was right out of HGTV: a (almost) life-size 747 (with a propeller) and a tail number 1. Tasted good too.
It was nice to see Bill, Patty, Andrea and her family, and Liz and catch up on family happenings.

email to the Princes
Dear Prince Cheeks and Western Prince,
Buddy had to sit and think today. He was on the deck and couldn’t stand seeing the chickens. He barked, growled, and tried to jump through the bars. He’s been very good recently and we though he was learning, but I guess he forgot. Opa made him sit and think. His teacher says that’s a good way to help him learn that chickens are our friends and not for him to eat.

24 feet at the Barony
Our 6th Christmas here was as wonderful as the rest of them. Lady Ariel, her Count, The Western Prince and her Loyal Pooch made the very long drive from Chicago. They left a half a day earlier than planned to get ahead of 10" snow and blizzard conditions. The pregnant Lady Terra, her Count and Prince Cheeks ...
We rented North Run Cottage for the 2 legged visitors. It's a lovely home just our side of Black Moshannon Park, about 9 minutes from The Barony. Besides the outdoor hot tub (which no one used) and the TVs on each floor (which they did use), the kitchen was fully stocked as was the fire wood. The beds were flat and the showers were hot. What more could the Ladies ask for?
Christmas Day is Prince Cheek's 900th day and The Western Prince's 200th day. I love it when numbers work out like that. It does something for my dyscalculia.
