Football

Carter just finished up his first year of football. We opted to try out flag football because we wanted to try out this sport before he went into the real football league. Carter enjoyed his time and learned a lot about the sport. He scored several touchdowns and now understands more about the sport when he watches it on TV. He definitely wants to play tackle football next year, but we will see what we decide. He is a little sad that the season is over, but he still is playing backyard football with anyone that will play with him (including his sister) and she isn't scared to tackle him to the ground. It was fun to watch him get excited about touchdowns, making fun plays and grabbing the other team's flags to get them down. I love that at one of the first games the sprinklers turned on and the boys were playing the game with them on. What dedication and the boys thought it was fun when the weather was warmer, not so much now with it being colder. We were making hot chocolate after the last few games. Can't wait for next football season.

Griff would totally love to play with him! Our little town got a football team this year, but games were every Sunday. Bummer! So he did soccer instead, but still had a good time. Way to go Carter!
