Jon, Stella, and I headed up to my parents for the weekend. We sat in horrendous traffic on Friday night which lent itself to plenty of political conversation.
On Saturday we went into Fairplay to watch the first South Park High School football game of the season. My brother Petey(#84) is a Senior this year and he has never won a football game in his entire high school career. The game started with a SP fumble, not a very good sign. Then the other team fumbled and SP got the ball. You should have seen these boys when the pile of spandex, pads, and helmets unfolded to reveal that SP had indeed got the ball back- they were jumping all over the field like green and gold popcorn! It was so amazing when they got their first touchdown and field goal- the home crowd that had gathered didn't quite know what to do, given the track record that the Burro's have had since 2004. By have time the score was 35 to 0, and shortly after half time the score went to 42 to 0 which put the 'Mercy Rule' into affect. For those of you that have never witnessed a SPHS football game before- the Mercy Rule is when they let the clock run the second half of the game if one team is more than 40 points ahead of the other team. This rule has never been put into effect by the SPHS Burro's, it has ALWAYS been put into effect by the other team playing the Burro's. The excitement in the crowd would have made an outsider think that it was a state championship game. The principal (who is awesome), Jane Newman, was just beside herself with glee. I heard one mom say "this is when it is fun to be a mom!" My mom even got the crowd going by directing those still in the bleachers to do the wave. The final score of the game was 48 to 6! The smiles on the players and coaches faces could not be forced. GO BURRO'S!
In other news- I am so in awe of my Daddy! He has been building a house for a couple for about the past year now. The couple is moving in to the house as soon as it is finished. My Daddy has built this gorgeous house all by him self (for the most part) from the ground up. He is Super Builder Dad. It is so cool to see my Dad make the dreams of this couple come true. GO Ambrose Home Builders!!
