Working on that "Dad of the Year" nomination

Earlier this year, Reed told us that for spring break, he thought we should go to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. While I'm a bit interested in seeing it, the prospect of spring break in Ohio didn't sound all that exciting and we weren't too sure that it'd be worth the 6+ hour trip. 

Then I had the brilliant idea that Tod could take Reed to the annual Hall of Fame game in August. It'd be a trip kind of like what Amy and I went on a couple of years ago to see a Cowboys game in Texas. And as luck would have it, we learned the Cowboys would play the Dolphins in this year's HOF game. Still not enough to convince me to go, though...preseason football just isn't my thing. But we knew Reed would enjoy the experience. 

The boys left on Saturday morning and made it to Canton by dinnertime. The hotel had an awesome pool with water slides and everything. They went to a movie that night (more bonus points for Dad). On Sunday they went to the HOF itself and really had a good time. Near the stadium, they were able to get an autograph from an actual HOF-er, Larry Little. Cowboys won the game, and the boys headed home the next day.

I think this is part of a plot for Tod to win Dad of the Year. I'd like it noted for the record that it was all my idea. :)
