How does a dairy mom and dairy son get to rub elbows with the Minnesota Vikings football team? Be a super fan, of course. Son Michael was the grand prize winner of the Radisson-Vikings Super Fan contest and he asked me to go as his guest.

| Friday- Off to Minneapolis in our chauffeured Town Car. |

 |
| After checking in to the Radisson Hotel, exploring the skyways and shopping at Macy's we settled in at "The Shout House" for some dueling pianos. |
 |
| Saturday- Arriving at Winter Park, the Vikings training facility, for a tour. | |

| The practice field where the magic begins. We weren't allowed to take photos during the practice. |
 |
| We got a private "meet and greet" with punter, Chris Kluwe. | |

| Sunday- Game day against the Green Bay Packers. We got to be down on the field before the game to watch the warm-ups and take photos! |

| Kicker Blair Walsh and Punter Chris Kluwe in action during warm-ups. |

 |
| In front of a packed stadium, the MN Vikings beat the Green Bay Packers, 37-34! |
After the game we were invited to attend the press conference. We were the only fans allowed in, along with the press. What a treat!

| Minnesota Vikings head coach Leslie Frasier |

 |
| Minnesota Vikings quarterback Christian Ponder |
|
 |
| Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson |
Monday- It was time to head back to reality and back to the farm, but at least for a weekend we got to rub elbows with the pros!
PS- This may sound cheesy, but if you want to grow up healthy and strong like a pro football player, don't forget to eat 3 or more servings of dairy each day. I bet Adrian does!
