In the car on the way across Wisconsin Sam is still conflicted.
“I love Green Bay and I love Aaron Rodgers, but I also like the Lions,” he tells me. He wonders if Jack’s daddy would be sad if the Packers won. “What if the Packers won by just a little?”
Jack’s Daddy is my cousin John and he’s joining me at Lambeau Field for the final game of the season. Sam has been speculating on the outcome all morning. What if the Lions had forty-eighty and the Packers had twenty-seven? What if the Lions had one hundred and the Packers had zero? What if the Lions had eleventy-seven?
A few weeks ago, the weekend of Sam’s 4th birthday, the Packers were still undefeated and Sam wanted to know what color the Kansas City Chiefs wore. When I told him red, Sam insisted on wearing a red t-shirt despite the pile of Green Bay Packer clothing that he’s accumulated over the last few years.

Here are some photos from our weekend at Grandma's. We won't talk about how Grandma barely survived her 8 hours alone with the kids and her story of Sammy swearing (I didn't teach him that), and we won't talk about how TT's phone called Auntie Annie and left a voicemail of the kids screaming. Thanks TT for making it all possible!
