Owen is playing flag football this year. So far, everything is going well with that. To show support for the local rec programs, the high school football team invited all rec football players and cheerleaders to participate in the warm-up at one of the home ballgames. All rec participants and their coaches got in for free (and thanks to a lady at the gate who had an extra ticket so did I). Owen's team got to sit on the side of the field while the high school players warmed up. When it came time to stretch, Owen and his team got to go on the field and stretch too. Then, the high school players gave the younger boys high fives on their way to the locker room.
When it was time for the high school players to break through the banner, the rec players got to follow them through the banner and onto the field. The band was playing and everyone was cheering. Owen really liked this. This was the first time I've been to a high school ballgame in about a decade (and Owen's first time). We had a good night of watching football and eating popcorn. We only stayed until the end of the first quarter, but the Bears were winning when we left and ended up winning the game.
