Today Nick had his first football game of the season. They played hard but lost 20-0. They killed themselves with penalties and bad tackling every time they got the momentum going in their favor. They are the red team. Their team name is the Lions. Hopefully, their season won't end up like the Detroit Lions. Nick is #3. Nick seemed to enjoy himself even though he was getting pummeled by much bigger guys on the line. Aidan hung out most of the time underneath the bleachers or with a group of little girls running up and down the bleachers. He could have cared less that his brother was playing on the field.
