Go Pioneers!

My brother Hudy is on an IFL team here, the Tel Aviv Pioneers. The team is a huge for him- during the season I think the team has two practices and a game each week. It's a joke in our family that Hudy is always wearing some kind of Pioneer clothing, a hat, a t shirt, something.

Last Friday the Pioneers played the Jerusalem team, and it was here, at Kraft field in Gan Sacher. So we went! It was the closest thing to a real Sunday we've had in a while. We went to the game, had hot dogs and beers, and a fun old afternoon. Except for the Jerusalem team like, killed them, but it was all in good fun. Oh, and Eitan kept running off onto the field, that was hard to control. But they let the kids run all over at halftime, so that was fun for everyone.

A few observations:

• It's awesome to be able to be at a game and just go up and get whatever you want to eat!

• The field was 60 yards long, instead of 100, so the best seat in the house was on the 30 yard line. As you can see, we had some great seats.

• The Jerusalem team mascot was a lion, in a full on lion costume, but not the paws- her high heels were just on, and she would randomly just take off the face part for a few minutes at a time.
