Five...hours...of...football = Fun!

Saturday was the last chance of the season to watch our grandsons do what they love best . . . play football. We came prepared to sit through and cheer for both teams. The teams are part of the Yosemite Badgers Youth Football organization with Christian on the Peewee team and Jared on the Senior team. Of course they didn't play one right after the other, there was a Junior game between them, hence the five hours in the bleachers. It was blazing hot in the afternoon but as soon as the sun went down it became mighty chilly . . . good fall weather in the mountains! 

Christian's job was to block "#12" during the entire game. I can tell you #12 didn't get past him . . . ever!

There are four age groups in the league . . . the Mighty Mights, the PeeWees, the Juniors and the Seniors. They won the game 48-0 and will be in the playoffs . . . so the season for us isn't over yet!

A hot dog always tastes best after a winning game!

Our son-in-law is the guy who volunteers to hold the chain that keeps track of first downs. When the game was over he came up in the stands to chat with Christian about the game he just played, with lots of praise and encouragement. He's just the best dad a kid could want, and loves sports of all kinds himself!

As the sun went down it was time for Jared's game.

He's one of the younger ones (#60) on the team and he plays second string. He is always on the ready to go in and plays his best to support his team.

As you can see my battery was getting low, but I did capture this shot of him coming in after being out on the field. The final score was 56-0 . . . looks like we'll have two grandsons' teams participating in the playoffs!

Life is good!
