Go Spokane Shock!!!

From April to August our Saturday nights are mostly consumed with Spokane Shock games. This is their 3rd season. The first season they won the AF2 cup in Puerto Rico, last year they lost in the playoffs and this year they are so far 7-0. Our friend Brady Nelson started the team and is the main owner. When Brady told Eric his idea, Eric had to get in on it. He decided to invest and owns like 19% of the team. People thought Eric was a little crazy to put money into an Arena football team, but it has been awesome. Spokane has gone crazy for it. They sell out all the games, and the fans are die-hards. The games are so fast paced and exciting. We get to sit in the owner's box at home games, so the kids run around and we don't worry about them. We even end up going to 3 or 4 away games throughout the season.
We usually go down on the field after the game. My sister-in-law MaryBeth and nephew Jon are pictured with us here.
Jackson and Hayden love to take friends down and throw a football around on the field. I think that is their favorite part.


Olivia cares a little bit more about the dance team than the actual football players.
