The Jamboree!!!

Last weekend Justin and his team, the Renegades, went to the "Football Experience". It's where the teams all get together and do 15-minute scrimmages. It gives the players a chance to experience what it's like to be in a real game environment and it gives the coaches a chance to play the kids in the positions they are thinking of putting them in.

We trucked off to Nevada at the butt crack of dawn and had the best time! Justin played at 10 and 10:30 and we were there by 6:45!!! Justin had the time of his life!

The field. The Experience was held at a new park. There are many football fields as well as a park and baseball field. There were so many teams from all over, I lost count!!! They all play these 15 minute scrimmages and there are kids everywhere!
I must say...I felt very Brady Bunch...it's all astro turf!

Jacob has taken quite a liking to pushing his stroller all over....downhill of course!

Justin's team on the field.


Jacob finally conked out after a little crying/screaming jag. We were sitting by the generators that were filling up the giant bouncy house, so the "white noise" kept him sleeping for quite some time. I think it was about an hour or so!

Cheering on his teammates!
Gotta love it....Hoekman! Go Hoekman!!!
The next Joe Montana? Jerry Rice maybe???? Hmmm....he's handsome for sure!


This is at the end where both teams come up and slap each others hands for a game well played!

The coaches all sat the kids down after the game and told them how proud they were! It was very sweet, fun, and touching.
