John and I were up and out the door by 8 a.m. to travel to the town of Erskine, MN to watch Josh's football games.  The temps were only in the upper 30's when we left home and the forecast was for sunny skies, strong winds, and cool temps for the morning.  We bundled up in several layers of clothing and donned our winter hats and gloves.  

The Bears won the first game quite easily, but the second game ended in a hard fought tie.  There was a little more hitting in the second game and some of the Bears sustained banged up hands and knees.  John and I were pretty cold by the time the games were over and were glad to get back in the car and warm up.  Since Matt and Hanna also came to watch Josh play, they joined us for some lunch at DQ on our way home.

This afternoon John pulled the onions out of the garden and stored them in the garage.  There are only carrots and potatoes left in the ground now.  Once they are out, the garden will be done and ready for tilling.  With the colder nights, he thought it best to drain the garden hose and get the water to that spigot turned off.

We watched some college football this afternoon and this evening talked with Amy's family over the computer.  Caleb had a football game today and their team came away with a nice win.  While we wore winter clothes to our game, they were dressed in shorts and got sunburned.
