Are you ready for some football?

Boy, I sure am. We love football. It is always so hard waiting for the new season to start. In the spring there is March Madness and the NBA Finals to make the wait easier. In July there is the Tour d' France.  The hardest part is waiting through the end of summer when there is nothing but baseball on TV. But never fear! Once again football has returned! There was much celebrating and partying at our house.

We started our celebrations on a Thursday, the day of the first college football game, with our traditional game day tacos. I made homemade corn tortillas, and we topped them with black beans, cheese, tomatoes, avocados, olives, and sour cream. Mmmmm! For the remainder of the football season we will eat tacos every Monday while we watch Monday Night Football.

On Friday, we took the boys to watch our local high school football team. It was little Henry's very first football game! He had fun looking around at all the people. Howie likes to watch people get tackled.

Howie is yelling, "Football! Football!"

On Saturday we drafted our fantasy football teams! Go Tree Huggers!

Yup, football is back. It will be good times and tacos for the rest of the year.
