Daily Inspiration – Packers Dream Drive

Thursday, August 13th, 2015

Last week I shared my first Packer’s training camp visit. This week I wanna show you another reason why I love this team and community so much. You see, Packers players riding kids bikes to and from practice is a tradition that started back in the 60’s. The mister told me about this years ago, he used to go as a kid and has nothing but great memories from it. Since we lived in California and were only in town for the holidays we never had the chance to see this together. Fast forward to this year, we live in Wisconsin and have attended not one but two practices HA! During this second visit to camp I had the chance to witness the Packer’s dream drive and well my heart just melted. I got to see my favorite player pick the tiniest bike from the crowd and make a little boy’s day. Heck, it wasn’t even my bike or kid and I couldn’t stop smiling. All players and coaches are welcomed outside the stadium by kids raising their hands to be selected. If you are not picked, you get high fives and the chance to be up close to the team as they make their way to practice. Once practice is done, the players ride the same bike back to Lambeau. I mean, how sweet is that? I cannot wait to take our kids there in the future, I’m sure we will be the crazy parents taking a thousand pictures wishing we could ride with them too. NFL kick off is right around the corner and we are extremely excited to say the least. This is our first year living in Wisconsin for a full football season so “football fever” has taken over our house already. Isn’t this tradition just the best? Cannot wait to show you the pictures from inside the practice. I’m still pinching myself. Are you a football fan?
