Going to see Football Professionals


Last Friday I went with some of my friends to a place near the Honolulu zoo were we were going to see some pro football players and get signatures from them. But when we got there, there was a very long line waiting to see the players and none of them had arrived yet. So most of us went and walked around the area to see what activities they had.

There were a lot of activities. I don't know what most of the activities were called. Many of them where blown up with air pumps. One of the activities I tried was a blown up thing I got on and then you put on a vest that has an elastic rope on it. The guy throws you a football and you have to run to get a touchdown at the end. It was somewhat hard to get a touchdown because of the elastic rope stuck to you. I managed to get 1 touchdown for sure and I may have gotten a second touchdown too or very close to getting one. Sometimes when you couldn't pull the elastic rope anymore it would pull you back so fast that you would fall on your back. For the most part it was fun except when I got my elbows scraped on it a little. My favorite activity I tried was the sprint run. I liked it the best cause I could do it the best. There was one other activity that I tried. It was kicking the football into the goal. I did horrible at it. My kicks were so bad that the ball didn't get off the ground much at all. What makes it even more embarrassing is that the guy who was in front of me was 74 years old and he kicked the ball so good. I found out later that he formally was a pro soccer player at one time.

There was a few stores that had football stuff in them. Some of them had little football helmets and some had full size football helmets. There were also football cards, footballs and a lot of other stuff too.

Probably the best part of the day was when I was able to pass out a lot of really cool gospel tracts to lots of people. One of the tracks I had was a $1000 BIG MONEY bill. This was the tract I gave out the most. Most of the people I gave this tract to liked it a lot. A few people didn't want the tract but most of the people did. Some of the people said thank you when I gave them one. Also I gave out a few $1,000,000 dollar bill tracts too. Check out www.livingwaters.com if you are interested in ordering some of these really cool gospel tracts.

Overall I enjoyed the day very much. I would do it again if my friends invite me again.

Thanks for writing about your day, Caleb. You're a good writer, and I enjoyed spending the day with you vicariously.

Caleb,

Sounds like a blast. I am sure I would have enjoyed the activities as well.

I heard that they asked you to play in the pro bowl, but you turned them down. Is that true?

Take care!
