The Eagles are back in training camp, just in time for Scott's birthday! He took his birthday morning to go watch practice. It was a perfect day, not too hot, and the seats we got were in just the right place to watch tons of offensive drills and even a few offense vs. defense plays.
Kairi was also decked out in her Eagles colors, but was a little cranky still from the sprained ankle she got at VBS. Still, she looks like she was having a good time.
One of the really great plays we saw was when Brian Dawkins broke up a pass to one of the new receivers - he sure wasn't pulling any effort because it was practice. I enjoyed watching the plays in person until the kids dragged me off to the play area.
We even got a close up of Westbrook in action - and on the sidelines. He really is the man on whom the Eagles' fortunes hang, and Scotty's hoping for a good season. (Of course, so are the rest of us, and someone's gotta lose. But since the Pack won't face the Eagles until the playoffs, I can root for them for now!)
Best of all, our tickets on the way in got picked for autographs! So we went over to the tent after practice and Scotty got to talk to a few players and get some signatures. He could tell you whose - I frankly don't remember! They were all linebackers, though!
Since it's Scott's birthday, just this once I'll say it - "Fly, Eagles, Fly! On the road to victory..." (Until you meet the Pack!)
