Catching up on some blogging.Saturday started a family vacation to the beach- something we haven’t done in a couple of years. But before we could head out, we had the first game of the season at FPD’s Viking Football League. It was a great battle on the grid iron – Robby’s team fought like true warriors to the very end. They were down 7 – 6 with seconds left and the ball on their own 1 yard line after an incredible goal line stand. The last play of the game – a sweep – the pitch to the back bounced into the end zone and the other team recovered for a TD as time expired and Robby’s team fell 13 – 6. It was a great game and a lot of fun. I am one of Robby’s coaches this year and it has been great for me.
After the game – a quick shower for Robby and we were off for the sand, sun, and Gulf of Mexico. The place is beautiful, the beach unscathed by Ike - but the ocean is a little rough (which is great fun for us). For the first beach trip since Ivey was born, the kids LOVE being at the beach more than the pool! We’ve been riding waves, splashing, and building sand castles!Sunday morning I took a short vacation break to watch our first ever New City Church downtown live streaming video – Thanks Howie! Pretty cool tech stuff. So – we will work toward setting that up as a regular, weekly thing.
OK – time for some sun screen (mostly on my head) and we’re off to the beach again!
