I whispered “goodbye” to Scout, my dog, and my babysitter Jessica, and hopped in the car. The 3 hour car ride has started. The three hour car is so bad that I feel car sick writing this. But I survived.
“Guess where we are?” mom said happily.
I looked to my left. A big stadium with the word Gillette was staring at my eyes…
We were at the patriot stadium.
Tailgate.
I hopped out of my car and I thought I was going to see a patriot game. This is where I introduce my favorite 2 words, porta and potty. They’re 5 letters each. It’s fun to say and it’s fun to use. And that’s where I went to the bathroom, the porta potty I gotta tell you. Those porta potties were awful. We went to our tailgate spot and of course a game of Rummikub was going on and then we saw a man with a camera a sweater and pants he was tall as he appeared to our sight he told us that he took pictures for newspapers mom told me that grandpa cooked a five star meal with a back injury and its was very nice. We asked him “is it confirmed to go on the newspaper” “there’s a chance” he replied we smiled and the camera clicked He stated it was a great picture. And it was time to eat,
I helped myself to some steak “best steak of my life”
It was chewy but that was only a small margin of time and after a long Rummikub game it was time to enter the stadium.
The game
“O say does that star spangle”
Then it was the coin flip the ref asked one of there players heads or tails he replied “tails”
It is heads they asked the patriot player to defer or attack he answered “defer”
With the kick of the feet to a sprint and black the game started. 1st and 10 at Ba 20 BA there were two straight punts and we went to get food. I got popcorn and a Sierra mist and Blake, my sister got fried dough and popcorn and we got gummies to share.
And before we new it we were losing 7-0 but it’s never over for new England and before we knew it mac jones got us in to field goal range on a 4th and 5 we went for the field goal “lined” “hold” “kick up the middle” “its good”
The stadium was like a bee hive with buzzing bees
