Guns 'N Hoses

IMG_8989
Saturday was the 1st Annual Guns 'N Hoses Flag Football event and it was so much fun!  It was the police officers vs the firefighters....it's an event to raise money for the fallen firefighter and peace officers funds.  I gotta say though, I was quite worried Aaron would be one of those fallen firefighters...some of those guys could have killed him...he doesn't quite have the body for football!  Fortunately he came away from the gameIMG_8962
walking and not in pain, unlike a lot of the others who played.  Unfortunately the Hose Boys lost...quite bad...what was the score Aaron?  12 to 26 or something like that?  They started out good, but then with an absurd amount of substitutions and erratic coaching they got took down....the gift of donuts to the cops beforehand didn't even help.  Maybe that hindered?  

The whole event was a lot of fun with a bag piper, helicopter fly over during the Star Spangled Banner (we think that was intentional...if not the timing was awfully perfect), raffles, and halftime entertainment (Ella's dance company had some dancers perform, Enterprise High dance team, and some bizarre Crossfit boot camp demo).  It was a great way to spend the afternoon and we look forward to next year's event.  I'd suggest you bulk up Aaron!  Click here for more photos

I would have loved to have gone to this, sorry we missed it! We will be there next year to cheer you on! And, can I just say...after seeing the size of some of those "Guns", I'm super impressed that Aaron walked away uninjured! LOL!
