Army Football

stylized photos from the day, smiling faces, army gear and football

Last October, I shared our first Army football game as a family. To read my thoughts on that game and patriotism, click the link below.

We had a blast the first time, so we headed back to West Point for another dose of Army Football.

journal entry: "The army game was great!" 2 photos of football, a photo of mikey smiling with faceprint, Mikey and Will in Army sweatshirts, Mikey and I posing and smiling, a family photo with the field in the background.

I loved this day so much, I even posted it on Facebook! This is still one of my favorite family photos of all time.

This post exemplifies my parenting philosophy that we don’t always need to reinvent the wheel. Our family loves football so a football game will almost always be a good plan for us…not rocket science, just happy kids!
