Friday was the last football game of the season--the boys had to win to make it to the play-offs.
Our band wrapped up and kept their mouth-pieces in their pockets (to keep them warm). It was a cold, cold, cold, cold, cold day!

We had rain, hail, snow and wind--the clouds just lingered (and lowered onto our town) from morning and stayed all day. We were socked in and so was the cold.
We played Carey and unfortunately lost (0-50 mercy rule in effect). They had a lot of boys and one "giant" that according to Zane, just picked them up and moved them out of his way. It seems that there really weren't any "evenly-matched" teams this season--either we stomped other teams, or they stomped us.

Most people didn't stay in the stands, but instead were in their cars, on the sidelines, or walking around trying to stay warm. Pamela is in the yellow coat in the stands.
Rusty wore his insulated overalls.
The boys played the best they could, but since we couldn't keep their line back (they kept breaking all of our tackles & defensive line), we just didn't make much progress. And the cold didn't help--Zane came home before the game to get extra layers on and still froze.
Emmalee wore her snow pants.

Earlier on Friday I had to take Zane to an orthodontist appointment and Brienna to see the back doctor. Just after we left, we had fog--all the way to the IF airport. At times I had to slow to about 50 mph because of the low visibility. But right after the airport, it was sunny! We could look back & see like a wall of fog.
And good news for Brienna--she has been out of her brace for 6 months & has improved again!! Last time the degrees of her curves in her back were 16 degrees and 20 degrees. This time they were 14 degrees and 16 degrees. (10 degrees is "normal")
