Kick Off

Lukas the Linn-Mar Lion

The football season kicked off last night. It was a great evening for a game, maybe even a little too warm. Lukas was drenched in sweat by halftime when he changed out of his Lion suit for another person to take their shift.

The band sounded good for their first performance of the year, but the Lions football team faltered at the end of the game to loose to Jefferson. Josh and Jon had friends over after the game to inaugurate our new fire pit. And of course where there is fire, there are marshmallows, chocolate, and graham crackers for smores.

Ryan and Natalie drove up from Oklahoma for a weekend visit and arrived safely at midnight. Ryan had proposed to Natalie on August 11 and she said yes! We sat around the fire talking until 1:20 AM, enjoying the beautiful evening, sharing stories and memories. It was a great way to kick off the football season and a new friendship with our future daughter in-law.
