Mini Golf, Starters & Heelys

Mini Golf
Today Friedman asked me if I wanted to go get ice cream with her and a family that comes to our games. I said yes and they picked us up outside our dorms around 3pm. When we got in their minivan they asked if we wanted to go play mini golf, so we said ok even though that wasn't what we had in mind. I forget the parents names but they had three daughters, ages 14, 12 and 10. The girls seemed to have a really good time with us, so I didn't mind being there even though I was sweating profusely. After mini golf they took us to lunch at this hot dog place called Yoccos and then finally to ice cream at Rita's. On our way to Rita's, Dana (the 12yr old) showed us her catalog for the soap business she and her friend just started. It was really cute, she was telling us all about it so Friedman ordered some soap from her. They finally brought us back to Cedar Crest at 7:30pm, with just enough time for us to get ready for Starters.

Starters Riverport
Starters is one of our sponsors and tonight they had a Force pep rally for us...in other words we got free food. Its a two story sports bar and when we arrived upstairs we found out we were being moved to another area because the Philadelphia Eagles were going to be there. So we headed downstairs for dinner and watched as the Eagles players came in upstairs. We were told that we would be allowed to hang out with them, so after we ate we headed up to their section. After we got through security, I went over and hung out with this big guy named Jon. He was showing me a bunch of tricks with straws and then one with a beer bottle and quarters. He made me try one of em and was impressed when I got it on my first try. Donovan Mcnabb was there, all surrounded by security, but I made it over to him and introduced myself. I ended up standing next to him for like 10 minutes and I asked him if he liked softball. He said he did and that he would try to come to one of our games, yeah right. I told him Id strike him out and he said I was right, haha. When I left I said "bye, it was nice meeting you" and he said "good luck in your games." It was soooo cool, he was actually really nice!

Heelys Training Camp
When we got back from Starters Jodie was in the hallway trying to learn how to use Macs heelys. So I got mine out to show her how to do it and we ended up having a Heelys training camp in the bathroom. Jodie, Margo and Wilk all put in an effort to try and learn how to do it but Margo definitely earned Rookie of the Night. She figured it out that she could successfully heel from one end of the bathroom to the other by opening all the bathroom stall doors and using them to push herself along. It was hilarious and I recorded it on my camera, which you can see here.

We depart for NYC tomorrow morning at 730am and I cant wait! Oh yeah, and tonight we found out we are now tied for 3rd place!
