Flag Football!

Two weeks ago, almost all the boys from church and their dads began the flag football season. Even though the thermometer still reads 102 degrees, the spirit of fall has made its entrance through this thrilling sport. Two fathers from the church organize a league for all the boy at church 8-15 years old. The boys practice every Saturday morning. A game follows. 

Chip was bumped up to the older kids. And reminiscent of the days of winter basketball in Maryland, the Dad is his coach. They haven't won a game yet, but they have quite the fan club (namely Twinkle) who cheers them to touchdowns. 

Mickey is on a team with a number of good friends and he has won all of his games. Even though he scored three touchdowns the first game and at least one the next game, Mickey is keeping quite humble. 

And the girls? 

Twinkle and Minnie complain slightly about "getting up so early  on a Saturday". However, they soon forget their pain once they arrive at the intense games. Twinkle is convinced that Chip's team scored the touchdown because of her cheering. Minnie watches with an expert eye. But, she keeps her opinions to herself. The sign of a true genius. The Mom faithfully takes pictures and buys extra water bottles for all the teams.
