Here we go Steelers!
For the first time in several years, the kids and I had the time to spend an afternoon watching the Pittsburgh Steelers at their training camp at St. Vincent College. We once thought it would be something we would do nearly every summer, but we don't often stay in the US into August.
More, mostly pictures, after the jump
It was a great day for me, Myles, Brigid, my nephew Crispian and my niece Evangeline.
They got inked.
They ran around the Steelers Experience like mad little children.
And, yes, we actually watched the Steelers practice. I let Myles loose with my camera, and he proudly came back to me with pictures like this. "I think I got a shot of the ball just leaving Ben's hands!"
The kids are now properly pumped for football season to start. Here we go Steelers. Here we go!
The first time I watched a Steelers training camp practice was with my sister, some other kids from our parish, and a seminarian interning at our church that summer. It was in the mid-'80s. There were maybe twenty other people there.
Over the years it has grown to thousands of fans daily. Not only are there opportunities to see the Steelers up close.....
....there is also a whole afternoon of family football fun at the Steelers Experience.
