Friday we went to our first Naperville North High School football game against in-town rival Naperville Central. Both are extremely large high schools though only a 5 minute drive from one another. The game is such a large draw that they rent the local community college football stadium, which holds thousands, for the competition. It was a brisk fall evening perfect for high school football. We sat with a group of 20 - 30 from our Ward enjoying the game. More than the victory the highlight was Parker, as part of a quartet, singing the national anthem. It sounded grand and he enjoyed the experience; even though 2/3's into the song the crowd cheered louder than the song after all it was the start of a game.
Saturday we watched morning Conference in the comfort of our home and then drove up to Kenosha, Wisconsin for the wedding Nick Oxborough and Sara - long time friends of Blair from Armstrong High School days. Blair was truly blessed to have a good group of friends though out high school and then staying friends through college and into their married lives. A great group of people. Mackey drove up with us, attended the wedding, and then baby sat during the reception.
She stayed the night and then drove down with Julie, Blair, & Eden as they visited for conference, meals, a game, and hanging out. It is great to be so close that we can regularly enjoy their company and the delight of a grand daughter.
