We woke up excited for our family day that lay ahead of us. We were going to the St. Joe's vs. St. Peter's football game at 1pm then to a BBQ with some friends. All morning Dee baked chocolate chip cookies and brownies for the party and the house smelled great. I could not resist the cookies and I snuck a few before we left for the game. When we got to the game we had a quick chat with St. Joe's principal, Barry Donnelly. It was nice to see my old high school English teacher. He then allowed us to watch the game from the field and I got to see a bunch of my old teammates. The game turned out to be one of the best high school football games I have ever seen. There were more then 3,000 people at the game to watch St. Joe's (#9 ranked team in the State) and St. Peter's (#1 ranked team). Needless to say, St. Joe's were big underdogs. Grace and Andrew loved watching the game. Grace really enjoyed watching in the cheerleaders and Dee got to catch up with her old cheerleading coach Mrs. P. The Green Knights were down 17 to 6 at halftime, but stormed back to win 21 to 17 in the last minute of the game. The fans went crazy and the students stormed the field. After the game we headed to our friends house for a BBQ. Grace and Andrew saw a lot of their friends and had a great time playing.
