Priceless...
As we anxiously await the, hopefully, climactic end of the 2008-09 NFL football season, I realize that my family and I had a lot of good football memories occur this past year.
My eight year old son Mark played in his first Fauquier county sports football league.
They went 2 and 6; but that really did not matter. They all had great fun and really enjoyed themselves.
One of the highlights of the season is Spirit Night. That is when all the youth sports and cheer leading teams get to run out on the local high school field at half time and go through some exhibition plays and routines. They get formally introduced by the announcer as they run out on the field accompanied by the high school band. They are the team in red with the Falcons logos.
A funny side note to this is that William,
our 2 year old,
thinks he is really 8 and a member of the team.
In fact, he kept trying on Mark's gear.
We also saw our first Redskins NFL games at FedEx Field this year. One of my co-workers got "the letter" saying that his number was up and he now had an opportunity to purchase season tickets.
It only took 12 years...
A note to Mr. Snyder - Hey, I did my part (I purchased your $11.00 hot dog/fries combo and $7.00 beer)
plus;
both games I went to,
The Redskins Won!
9/14 VS Saints W 29 - 24
12/21 VS Eagles W 10 - 3
And, last but not least...
Mark and Genna both got to see a real live professional football player up close and personal.
A fellow school mate won the NFL's "Take an NFL Player to School" Contest.
