Ryan's brother Ben called him up a couple of months ago to ask if he wanted to be part of a full-pads, friday night lights, alumni football game. He would have to drive out to Yucaipa for practices and they really had no idea what kind of a turn out or game day experience this would end up being.
When game day arrived we were all impressed by how legit it turned out being. The alumni organization covered all the bases and the guys had a blast! They competed against alumni from a rival school and won.
The highlight of the game was a connection between Ryan and his brother. Although they played quarterback and wide receiver, the 2 year difference kept them from ever really getting to play together like this. It was a long pass and Ryan had to really dive for it, almost making into the end zone. So fun!
We brought the girls with us and I was so excited to share with them the experience of being at one of Ryan's games. That lasted about 10 minutes. Then they wanted to leave but fortunately our niece was able to watch them back at Ben's house. Thanks Mary.
Till next year...
