It was a tough team that the home team was defending against.  The Steve-Evan-Skyler team could throw, catch, and kick, and Dad proved that he could still kick butt in a fair fight.

For those of you wondering, yes, Steve could still walk after this impressive kick-off.  No, he didn't look like he had been riding a horse all day either.

In the end, the football stars gave up the game in favor of FOOD!

Grandpa Waring calls to wish Patrick a birthday hello!

The ideal dinner menu for an adolescent boy birthday party consists of sloppy joes, hot Cajun sausages made hotter by liberal spinklings of habernero sauce (no indigestion in this house), cheese doodles, baked beans, potato salad, and vegetables and dip.  However, if you examine the plates of these boys, you will notice that only Patrick has anything on his plate that could be construed as being a vegetable (the carrots are behind his cup).  Apparently meat and cheese doodles are the only important food groups!
