The Super Bowl

Well I survived the all nighter and actually enjoyed it once I made up my mind that I was going to do it. The group left for Springfield at 5:00 p.m. and watched an amazing hocking game. The Springfield Falcons won the game and it was filled with action right from the start. The boys liked the fact that the fighting began ever before the game had started.

After the game a speaker from the sponsor, Word of Life Ministries, spoke to the kids about God's love. He talked to them about making a commitment for god and several hundred young people did just that. Then the games and giveaways began. A number of kids were invited to come down onto the ice to participate in a few different games. They also threw a number of prizes into the stands. Our kids picked up a couple of shirts, and some other souvenirs.

At midnight we left for the roller rink in Wilbraham, Mass. We all put on skates and made a few trips around the circle. Even the old guy took a few laps without injuring himself or anyone else. It was fun. They had pizza, more pizza than we could eat, there for us and we all had our fill.

At 3:00 a.m. we set off for Chicoppee, Mass to the bowling alley. The place was a zoo but our kids had dun. Fred Green was on his game. He rolled a 234 to set the pace for the adults. Rachel Lord hit 98 and was the high roller for the teens. We had a good time and t 5:00 a.m. we hit the road for home. It was a goon night after all and I can't wait for next year. ;-)
