Fall Flag Football

Last weekend, we started our first games of flag football.  This is the second season that the boys have played- they played last winter.  They really haven't played much football between then and now, as it has been almost too hot to go outside for most of that time. They picked it up and did REALLY well at it.

Adam got the ball a couple of times, advancing the play. He made a couple of good catches too.
Here is he losing his pants as well as his flags to a kid-  luckily nothing was revealed.
 During the last minute of game play, the score was 14-7. (We were the 7). The team did a running play and Michael got the ball. He took off and started running...
 He kept running, right past a bunch of kids who tried to get his flags...
 He slowed a couple of times because he was sure they got his flags, but soon he had outrun them all-all the way to a touchdown.  We played the extra point, and got it, to tie the game.
 Michael got the player of the week medal for his great playing.  We were so excited for him.

 Of course, there are other members of the family who don't want to be forgotten.  Nate takes his socks very seriously.

I'm excited for football, it sure is fun to watch the kids play.

awesome- I think one of the funnest things about being a mom is watching your kids play sports.
