Flag Football

Reid started flag football this spring.  A parent from last year's kindergarten class decided to pull together the 1st and 2nd grade boys for a small flag football league.  There are 4 teams: Black, White, Purple, and Yellow.  They have had a few practices where they taught the boys some basic football skills and rules to the game.  Their first game was on Tuesday night.  It was pretty funny to watch as they tried to get in formation and carry out some simple plays.  Each team had to sit out 1 or 2 players and everytime it was Reid's turn he stood in the middle of the field and didn't move, instead of sitting on the sidelines.  They ended the game in a tie 2-2.  Reid is number 7 in Yellow.

While Reid was playing his game, Sydney started teaching Elyse some of her cheers so they could be the self-proclaimed cheerleaders for team Yellow!
