J&G headed back to the school to play at halftime and I grabbed a football to go back and throw with them but it went flat :-( Back in to watch the second half and then we loaded up and headed out. We stopped at Cabela's to get G his first official pocket knife for Scouts :-) we then went on to Hobby Lobby and Toys R Us for our annual Santa Scan so the wishlists to the right are populated.

There were a lot of people there from years past. I introduced the boys to Doc Scherer and others I knew from life on the farm. Uncle Roger, John & Betty and John & Mary were there tool It was a long ceremony and the boys did good other than G spilling coffee on L. There was a nice slide show and they told of the many things over the years that Gma&paW have done for the county: the boys were amazed at the long list. Gma&paW got up and received their awards, got their pictures taken and GpaW gave a nice speech introducing the generations of Wringers there and telling stories and the many involvements of all in the family throughout the years. A nice event and quick drive how with all boys to bed.
