Falcons and Grizzlies

I think this might be the last football post for a while. :) Jess's team had the chance to play ball in the Georgia Dome after the Atlanta Falcons game last week. It was so much fun! Unfortunately the Falcons didn't win but it was a good game, close score throughout. Jacob loved the mascot and wanted me to take pictures of him doing all sorts of crazy things like riding a 4-wheeler while sitting on it backwards. He was quite entertaining! During the 3rd quarter the Falcons rep came and got our boys so that they could get suited up for their game. When the big boys were done, the Jr. Grizzlies took the field! They also played a good game. What a cool experience to play SUNDAY football in such a big place!

They had security standing at all entrances to the field for most of Jess's game, but near the end they disappeared. I quietly urged Casey and Jacob to run down the stairs, rub the turf, and then run back. After a little hesitation, they did it. We were SO close, it would have been a shame for them not to take the opportunity to do something they will probably never get to do again!! All you football fans know what I mean! It was a big deal!

That's really cool. I bet Jess was so excited. That's once in a lifetime.
