How Cool is THIS !?!

Our principal surprised us today with an all staff outing for lunch. She didn't tell any of us where we were going (we thought we were probably having a picnic at the park). We all loaded on a bus and to our surprise, we were taken to Autzen Stadium, where we were treated to a tour of the locker room and training room as well as lunch in Phil Nights skybox!!! Is my job cool or what?
Here I am looking like a dork, all excited to be in Phil Night's Skybox!




Here we are unknowingly heading to Autzen on a school bus.


The training room



The locker room was absolutely unbelievable




There were Big Screen TV's everywhere, pools that players can run on treadmills in, a waterfall, a snack bar, glass walls that cloud over at the push of a button, a dentists office, a pharmacy, and an x-ray room as well as all of the latest state of the art workout equipment!







a whole room dedicated to showcasing the plans for the new basketball arena
it is going to be soooo cool!





then we went up to Phil Knights skybox for lunch!





We watched the players practicing on the field!

the Oregon Ducks running off the field to go catch a plane to Boise
their first game of the season is tomorrow night!!!

notice we are making the "O" sign for O'Hara!





After we ate lunch, we went down on the field and played a game of staff Kickball!



Mrs. Bert (our principal) kicking the ball for our team!





What a fun Day!

So I guess that if you aren't a Duck fan, this probably doesn't seem that cool, but to me it was an amazing day!

  1. Very cool! And fun! Seems like such a great group of people to work with. Almost makes me want to go back to regular full-time work ;)

  2. As you know, Jules, I'm definitely not a Duck fan, but even I think this is cool -- what a fun thing for the principal to do for you guys! And, I bet you can guess what my favorite part of your post is -- that you've now been on a school bus! Did anyone try to bully you?!

  3. That looks like more fun than I had today!! But I have been working hard and it has been good to see my friends. I went out to lunch every day which isn't always a good thing for me but I enjoyed myself. Got to go to watch the game.

  4. That looks like more fun than the actual season-opener Duck game itself..... :(

    I'm wondering if we might meet up at the Pop Warner Jamboree on Sunday. Which team does your son play on?

    Hope your first week of school goes great!
