(My “Saturday Snap” name has never seemed more appropriate as I post some thoughts and photos of our visit to the new Mosaic Stadium. I meant to have these up Saturday night but supper with friends after the game then an awesome Fred Eaglesmith concert meant I didn’t finish this post until Sunday.) — Shea […]

My son not only did all the stunts in this video but stitched them together in iMovie. He’s going to be the world’s first combination stuntman/film editor! 😉 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G19bCFKidRM
