Football fever

One of the fun things about Will getting older is I can take him to sporting events. His performance, we'll call it, has been incosistent. At his first Badger football game he was just about perfect. At the Waupaca-Hayward third round playoff game, which we attended with our friend Jared (top), he spent most of his time playing tackle football with eighth graders.

At the Menomonee Falls-Appleton North Division 1 semifinal in Oshkosh, where we met Nick, Larry and Natoli, he was, shall we say, squirrely. Giving him a bag of Skittles probably didn't help, but he had ants in his pants from the time we got there.

It's still a lot of fun, and I hope he (and eventually Charlie, too) enjoys these times as much as I enjoyed going to games with Dad when I was a kid.

Pardon the poor picture quality, they were taken with my phone.
