During the week of July 5-9, 2011, Cary and I were privileged to attend "The Opening", watching quarterback grandson Tyler Matthews (#43 the first day, and #15 on game days) play with 150 of the best high school football players in the United States. The event was held at Nike World Headquarters in Beaverton, Oregon. I hope that you enjoy the pictures ... some are better photos than others, but I tried to capture as many kids as I could.
There are approximately 500 photos in these slide shows. They are of the players, the fans, our family and everybody/everything that caught my eye. They are in chronological order. No names are on the pictures, even if I do know who people were.
As time permits, I will also be writing blog posts about my experience as a spectator. Since I still have a lot to learn about football and this is not a sports blog, I'll write some human interest stories as seen through my eyes. That said, Tyler Matthews, YOU ROCK!!!!

Now that is impressive. Having that skill on her resume will make future employers sit up and take notice. That will make her stand out in the crowd of people after the same job.Of course being cute and talented will also go a long way but frontend loader proficient??--awesome.
What a big machine--I'm impressed that she is not intimidated by it. Looks like hard and "dusty" work. She will have a "diverse" resume. Have a great weekend. Mickie ;)
That is so cool!
Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrave gal. I would be scared [you know what] behind the wheel of THAT!!
Honestly? I didn't realize that it all had to be washed!! Learn something every day.
Have a great weekend.
My day's entry for Saturday is: HOME SWEET HOME
I'm amazed at how she handled that ginormous piece of machinery. lucky you to have such a bold and fearless granddaughter! happy SSS to you Kathy. I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
Tell Kylie I am totally impressed by how quickly she learned to handle the loader as an expert!
IF I HAD A SHADOW
If I had a shadow as big as the sky,
I never would fear, and I’ll tell you why:
My shadow would save me from dragons and things
That fly in the night with terrible wings;
My shadow would keep me away from the beast
That sniffs in the west and sniffs in the east
Hungry for children who play all alone,
Hoping to feast upon blood, upon bone;
My shadow would be my protector and knight
To keep fear at bay, to banish all fright.
I’m so glad my shadow is always nearby,
Though it’s not nearly as big as the sky!

Shadows in hoofprints and stone
It must be so nice to have a business such as yours. Even the younger generation ca enjoy the trade.
My share of shadow, please come and see.
Incredible series of photos of those big machines in action! And what a granddaughter to tackle those chunks of metal!
I think granddaughter will impress the guys for a lot of reasons. How fun this was to read. The photos are really impressive also.
Impressive indeed! And, yes, a terrific series of those huge machines! Hooray for your granddaughter! That's terrific! Have a great Sunday, Kathy!!

Great photos.
You definitely have to have a knack for it!
You have a very talented grandson also. It was fun to look a all the very impressive photos.
You have an awesome grand-daughter there, not intimidated by any 'ol piece of heavy equipment. It is nice too that she is helping in the family business. I am sure you are very proud of her.
Nice pictures too!
How nice to get everyone involved in the family business. Maybe this pretty young lady will go on to be a civil engineer or something like that!
Droplets, whether coffee or rain, are fascinating. Your photography is always so excellent.
