Football Fever- Part 1 (bye week..)

So, last weekend was the Eagles bye week. (meaning they didn't have a game) So, I organized some fun outing for us to go on as a team. We have such an awesome staff of coaches, who have been involved throughout this season, and this weekend was no different.

We started the fun off Friday night, by meeting at our practice field for some dinner, thanks to Coach Willy. He made hot dogs for everyone, and some parents provided chips and brownies. After we filled our bellies, we headed to Memorial Stadium to watch West Mesquite High School verse Forney High School. For some of the boys, it was their first time to see a high school game.

On Saturday night, we met over at Coach Wesley and Ms. Lori's house to go through their haunted house. They spend a lot of time and money every year to put this haunted house together, and each year it seems to get bigger and better than the year before. Hunter and Demaris both made up their minds before we got there that they wanted no part of it, as it scared both of them pretty bad last year. Wes had fun being the "Gate Keeper" for the evening, especially when Kiki walked up and then quickly ran away in fear. Here is the scene as we waited in line to get in.

After all of the boys had been through it, I went through it with Kiki, Coach Roger, his wife Kathy and Ms. Pat. I'm usually a really big fraidy cat, but I didn't even get scared at first because I was too busy laughing at how scared Kiki was. I wish I had a camcorder with me as we went through it.

On Sunday morning, we got up bright and early and headed to Texas Stadium for a tour. The boys had a chance to go into the locker room, run down the tunnel, and play some football on the field. It was a lot of fun for the kids and the grown ups.
