Last week we ran a series of articles relating to football and family.
While reporting on the articles. I got to spend time in both the Rubios and the Campbells homes. First off, I can’t thank each family enough for allowing me watch them for a few hours.
As a reporter, I’m always taking notes. However, while I watched the Rubios and Campbell, I was taking mental notes more than anything. Someday I will probably have a family of my own. Watching the Rubios and Campbells gave me a good look at the challenges ahead as well the fun parts to having a family.
The way these families are able to balance time-consuming activities with other responsibilities is pretty impressive. You can see how the concepts behind football and family blend together with these two groups. Each uses teamwork to accomplish goals — just as if they were on the football field …. sort of.
There were many, many photos taken during our time with families and only a few ran in print. Here’s a sampling of other photos.
