Flag Football

Kaden and Tye played flag football this fall.  It made life a bit crazy at times.  Especially since most of the games were on days Nate was gone.  Kaden was on a 3rd/4th grade team with a couple of his good buddies.  Orange Crush was their name.  They went undefeated (I think).  He LOVES it.  He's still learning the game, but did so much better this year than last.  I, of course, always missed getting pictures or videos of his awesome plays.  Figures.

Tye was on a 1st/2nd grade team.  They called themselves the Manila Vikings.  It was Tye's first year playing.  He didn't love it.  He liked it fine, but it interfered with his plans of playing with friends a bit too much.  His coach was a bit intense, too.  He expected a lot of these little boys.... sometimes it was good, but often it was just too much for them to understand and process.  Tye could handle the ball so good at practice, but not so much at the games.  I think he still did great.  He recovered all his fumbles and ran.  Only once did he run the wrong way.  The other team pulled his flag before he made it to the end zone, but as soon as he realized he had gone the wrong way he burst into tears.  Poor kid.  I think he rocked!!  He was very proud of his team's undefeated title.  I hope he'll give it another shot in a year or two.
