Days with the Dorans

  The Homecoming game was fun! We went there early to watch the parade and Dad, Sean, Nana and Papa and I got some subs and did a bit of tailgating.  The parade is really pretty small from what we were used to growing up and the floats are more like just kids riding in cars... I was there for the marching band though of course and since I focused on Joe the last game, I thought today I would focus on Z.  Well...

The band posted some pics of Joe. Funny enough in one picture he is with a high school friend of mine's son and in the other he is with Ella who is officially his "girlfriend" now.  He did come to see us once during the gam...
