Football

Greg and I don't really have any intention of encouraging the boys to play football later in life. It is a dangerous sport; however, we both enjoy watching it (I prefer college football, while Greg is obsessed with the Broncos). Ryan and Luke will watch some football with us and they always assume that it is TCU playing, no matter who is actually on TV. I put them in a 4 week flag football clinic for preschool aged kids partly to give them something active to do and partly to introduce them to some football stuff. They had a pretty good time and they got to play a mini scrimmage on the last day and Luke scored 2 touchdowns as the running back.

The first week was really cold and we had to bring the hats and gloves back out of the closet.



By the 3rd week they were chasing each other around to attempt to pull the flag - it was mostly kids running around in circles.

Ryan perfected his "football face" over the course of the 4 weeks. He may or may not be an athlete, but he definitely has the look down when he wants to. Overall, they had a good time and it gave them something different to do. They will start karate again this summer with some of their school friends, and of course, we'll be at the pool a ton.
