Celebrating Father's Day Weekend

Two Blogs in two days! Well, this is a special occasion because I wanted to be sure to wish my dad and all the Weplay dads out there a Happy Father's Day. This has been a great weekend as I get to spend it with my family. It's not all too often that we get to be together because I'm in Indy, Eli is in New York and Cooper and our dad are in New Orleans, and certainly rare that we get to be together on Father's Day.
Our dad Archie has given us so much great advice over the years, so much love and so much support just a great dad and I know I speak for my brothers when I say we owe much of our success to our parents. Of course, Mother's Day is equally important (if not more!). So the fact that we're together, we take advantage of those times when we can.
We are actually together up in New York City, even getting to throw a NERF football around this weekend. They said it was the world's largest football catch between fathers and their kids. But it was cool because that was something we used to do growing up as kids. You've all seen some of that footage in the vids we've posted already on Weplay of us playing outside our house, but we even played inside (don't tell our mom).
We used to play something called Knee football, where we'd get to stand up and my dad would be on his knees. And the NERF football can't break anything in the house so that was fun. I'd love to hear your stories about how you play sports with your dad, too. And be sure to let your parents and kids know how much you love them today and every day. There is nothing more important than family.

It's good to see someone appreciate their parents so much! I remember playing baseball in the backyard with my dad. It was full of hills, but we improvised and always had fun...I hope my kids have memories of us doing the same with them.
I tried playing nerf football in our house, we still managed to break something, then again no one in my family has ever been drafted in the NFL. Never mind 2 SuperBowl MVP Champs! We still had fun.
If you invite me over to your house and show how to play nerf football without breaking anything, I promise I won't say NO!!!
I saw the interview on ESPN and I loved it when you guys talked about playing, "Amazing Catches." I wish my dad did that with me when I was growing up...even though I'm a girl. But I do love football. I still cannot wait to see you next month Peyt! :D
Go New York!!!! All we need is you on the jets!!! Come on pull us out of the sewer Peyton we need you. Your brother did a great thing for the Giants. But winning a Super Bowl for the Jets would turn the city upside down..lol www.brooklynitehockey.com
