I forgot to add that on the way home to the hotel...which was in Oakland this time we stopped at the Oakland Temple. Such a beautiful Temple!!! - The next morning we woke up and found a church nearby that we could go to Sacrament too. It's always kind of neat going to a different ward in a different place but having the same wonderful feeling and listen to some beautiful talks. Then we went back to the hotel and got ready to head to the RAIDERS game! Our hotel was only about a mile away so we just decided to walk. Toby couldn't hold back his excitement. His steps were much faster than ours. haha. Also there was a stark contrast between the Sacrament meeting we were at and the Raiders tailgate party! ha. We walked around some of the fans and then went in and got our wrist bands. They let us down on the sidelines which was so awesome to watch the players warming up. Cash even got to take a picture witch one of their best players. Then we headed up to our seats. The actual game was awesome and we won but my favorite part was one of the timeouts where the big screen had a trivia question on it and the correct answer was "Todd Christensen." Toby yelled that's my Dad! And a couple of the people around us started asking lot of questions. It was so neat to see him up on the big screen. Super cool for my kids to see their Grandpa up there. That was a really neat experience and I know how much it meant to Toby to have his 2 kids go to the same stadium his dad played in all those years. Then we walked home and packed up and got on the road! At one point our car was acting up a bit and we had to make a pit stop to get the tire fixed but we made it home and we were so happy to be reunited with our little boys again. They of course were super excited for their "souvenirs" and we loved giving them the biggest hugs. It was a quick trip but loved the fun memories we were able to make together.
