Rams - Aug. '10
Home Up
The Rams game on August 26 was the the third game of the 2010 pre-season.  This is usually the best of these meaningless, summer games as the starters usually play the longest.  It turns out that Tom Brady and most of the first string played into the fourth quarter.  Here's a few photos from our very abbreviated tailgate party and a few more from inside "The Razor."

Bernie took over grilling duties.   She's a very good cook.

It looks like Audra is enjoying her first Patriots game so far!

Bernie and Audra.  Steve thinks something's funny.

Okay, there, funny-face.

It's like magic!

Be careful!  Your face could freeze that way.

The funniest part of this photo is the look on Steve's face.
"What is WRONG with you people!?"

A nice one of Bruce and Bernie.

Bernie and Audra take a break on the Flying Elvis logo near the main gate.  Bernie asked me to express a heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended for making Audra's first game a wonderful experience.   She actually came through it with no lasting psychological scars.

Looks like Audra's got a bat in the bat-cave.

Following a brief, after-game relaxation period, we were on our way home.
