LAST OF THE FOOTBALL


It was a blustery weekend. We went to two of the grandson's football games. Doug, who is a busy surgeon, was Douglas's defensive football coach. We went yesterday to watch Douglas play and Doug coach. It was a blustery day and we sat in the cold and hail and managed to see them both in action. I don't think they like the Grandpa to come because I go a little nuts on the sidelines as we did in Michigan. Here we see coach Doug and Douglas and I was proud of them both.

After a quick lunch in from the cold (of peanut butter and marshmallow sandwiches) we went to Nate's game. His team does better and just walked over the competition. They are the nine year old team. It was cold and snowy but Nate's team seemed to understand the game and they did well. Here is a picture of Nate and his team and if you look closely you will see the girl that plays on the team as well.



I always thought it was good for our kids to participate in school sports and everyone did and had a sport in the fall, winter and spring. They learned sportsmanship and how to get along with team players and to work as a team. Great lessons for life.

We wish all our grand kid future athletes good luck and now a little break from practice.

Alles Gute, Dad

It is nice you make it to some of the grandchildren's events. I know Natalie and Rachel had fun seeing you at their game. Doug looks so official!
