Jake's 1st Tailgate

I love fall for many reasons and in the past few years, I've even grown to appreciate football (thanks to my BFF's husband's mild Steelers obsession) & have added that onto my list of reasons I love fall. Yesterday was the Steeler's home opener, so we pulled out our Steelers gear & headed down to Dennis's tailgate!

Jake seemed a bit overwhelmed by everything at first (I don't blame him, sometimes I get overwhelmed when I'm surrounded by yinzers too---speaking of which, we actually saw someone with "Yinzer" tatooed on the back of his neck. Classic.) but eventually he was content to hang out in the back of the car & check everything out.

When leaving the tailgate to head home in time for kickoff, we saw this gem walking down the streets of the North Side:

Yep, those are 3 teenagers using their bare bodies as jerseys. Strut your stuff boys, strut your stuff.

When we got home, Jake wanted to watch the game while looking like someone on the team. His hair isn't long enough to style like Polamalu's and we didn't want to shave it bald like Ward's, so we settled for Jeff Reed (aka Skippy Skeeve):

And what's a football game without some beer, right?

***Please note-no babies were harmed during this photo shoot. Nor did any babies actually consume beer. Please do not report us to CYS. We have no idea why he looked so infactuated with the beer bottle....
