Notre Dame is full of traditions, so it is only fair that we have our Notre Dame traditions too. Two years ago, Zach got to go to South Bend with Jim and so this year it was Lauryn's turn. Jim & Lauryn, along with friends, Todd & Ceci, enjoyed a long weekend in South Bend & Chicago. Friday they enjoyed walking campus and attending the pep rally. Saturday they went to the painting of the helmets (another ND tradition). Usually the painting of the helmets is not done publically, so they were lucky to attend during a weekend where they were doing it in front of the crowd. They also went to see the football team do their traditional walk from mass to the game. Then the game... Unfortunately Notre Dame lost to Michigan in the last few minutes of the game. Regardless, it was an amazing experience and father/daughter time! On Sunday, they headed back to Chicago & before their flight left in the evening, they stopped at the bean & made it to a White Sox baseball game. Although me & the boys were happy when they got home, Lauryn said she wished she could have stayed longer. She truly loves Notre Dame & has high hopes of attending school there one day!
