Training camp

The only redeeming part of the end of summer is that it means football is here.  And this family loves football.  Brent and Sarah both got tickets for the redskins/patriots joint practice so they took Joel and Norah and met Regis there while I stayed home and took Colin to basketball camp. And that meant I had a whole morning to myself!  Joel and Norah did great even after being woken up at 5am and being in the car that long that day.  

 And then we all went back on saturday since Colin didnt get to go earlier.

 And I have to say I prefer the 5,000 people there to the 20,000 people there when Brent had gone earlier.  We could get right next to the fence and hear them running plays.  I was impressed that Norah keeps asking to go back and see her "hokies" (all football is hokies to her) and she went to two practices.

 Joel wasn't too into a family picture

 Norah liked waving to the players and yelling RGFREE!!!!!  haha so cute

 

 Brent looks slightly disgusted already and the season hasn't started yet! ha! 

 The kids had fun with this tackle dummy

 We were able to get pretty close to the players.  There was a section only little kids could go into and then after the game the players came and got the little kids and walked them back over the field. It was so cute seeing them with the kids. Colin was an inch too tall and kept trying to get Joel in there but Joel and Norah wouldnt go in without me, so hopefully next year they will go in and get all the players autographs.  Now after seeing it, I think its even more amazing Colin got RG3's, Moss, and Hall's autographs last year.  He did get Alfred Morris autograph.  I didnt even see him walk by but Colin went for it. 

They won their first preseason game so hopefully thats a great sign for how the rest of the season will go.
