The morning started with the guys and girls being so excited they couldnt concentrate on anything else. Around 1:15 pm the 3rd through 8th grade students, teachers and facualty all came outside in the front of the school to cheer us on and see us off on our trip. Dallas is in the 3rd grade group and I felt so bad for having to leave him at school. You see, he had a game that night too, and since Daddy has not got to see any of Dallas’ games since hes been out of town, he did not want to miss it. So, Dallas had a special night and Daddy was his biggest fan in the stands that night. He also took him to McDonald’s afterwards to celebrate. Daddy said he did really good. He got 3 tackles. Yea! Here are the students and teachers:par

We find where we are suppose to go park and go into the visitor locker room so we can chill, relax, catch our breath a few minutes and put our things into the cubby holes and get a snack before we start our tour.par

We start our tour by stopping by the baseball field and chatting a while:par

Then it was on to the basketball gymn where we had to “RUSH” them through the corridor because there were women exercising at the moment. lol Had to physically turn some heads back around and forward. lolpar
