Wrestling is a new sport for me, but is a Mergen ritual. Papa Jeff coached for many many years, and you daddy wrestled all the way into his 20's. First at Rocori, and then ended his career at St. John's University. Your daddy brought me to my first wrestling match when we were dating. We went to see the Minnesota Gophers take on..umm I don't even remember. I guess it was a HUGE match. Now that we live back in daddy's old stomping ground, we get to go to Rocori Wrestling Matches. I think we planned on doing this last winter, but you guys still pretty much called the shots still last year, and we didn't take you many places due to hard work.
This past Friday night we went to Rocori's first HOME MATCH in their BRAND NEW GYM! It was pretty nice. Lilly was scared at first due to the loud cheering, music, and announcer's loud bellowing voice. She became very comfortable in minutes, and was munching on popcorn, dancing to AC/DC between matches, and yelling GO GO GO!
Charlie was in awe. I think he was very surprised that those kids were getting away with fighting/wrestling and their mom's were not giving them time outs! I felt a bit nostalgic sitting in a school gym on a Friday night. It brought me back to the days of being a kid, and running around under the bleachers until our parents would say. "I am not bringing you here again, if all you do is run around!" I saw kids running around that night and realized that they were having the time of their life, and so was I.
