Any more gummies in there?
Who would have ever thought that this Green Bay girl would yell “Go Bears!” Well, this one – when my awesome 8-year old is on the Bears flag football team. Elliott had his first ripping-the-flags-from-an-opponent on Sunday, so we celebrated with ice cream at Let’s Yo! You’ll see that Conor was scouring everyone’s ice cream for more gummy worms.
The Bears are the first seed in the semi-finals on Oct. 23! Coach Joe is AMAZING! His 9th grade son coaches when he doesn’t have his own football games too. Coach Joe loves the game and loves the kids. After games, you can hear him complimenting them, but also being specific about what they need to work on next time. He reminds them to eat well and get a good night’s rest.
The team is awesome too – there’s been a lot of football parties and gatherings. It’s great that there’s room for everyone with this team. I signed up Elliott for flag football b/c he hasn’t really been that interested in soccer. Football in Longmeadow was a more obscure sport – I didn’t realize it was so big here. It’s been one of the highlights of our move, in my opinion. (Elliott may not always match my enthusiasm, but he has learned a ton. He and I have to beat our record of 31 tosses back and forth.)
