USC vs Hawaii warriors

I took Ben to the usc Hawaii warriors game. For the sheer fact of all the amazing school pride!! This place is sold out. And yes we had to buy Ben a usc shirt when we got here cause we couldn't see any warrior dans.

Tackle .....

That's all I have to say

1st day of 3rd grade

Ben started 3rd grade on Wednesday. We had an amazing summer, and football has proven to be a favorite sport for him. Cheers to the new year. He got mrs. Richards at del sur as his teacher and is now a Hawaii warrior !! We already had our shirts! And!! I am taking him to the USC vs Hawaii warrior fb game in a couple weeks! Yay!!
