I was feeling really bad and missing the boys participating in sports. Soccer here is really expensive for just having practices and no games. My friend Jen told me how her son was starting to play AFL. She told me how much it cost and it was really a really good price. Due to some cicumstances, President Marcelo decided he would preside over the Saturday sacrament each Saturday this month. So I thought why don't we have the boys try it out too?!?!
Kade and Kyle loved it. Because of Eric and Kade always throwing the football around Kade was really good at throwing and catching the ball. They are also learning how to kick the ball. I don't think AFL is in the States, but this will definitely help them practice for American football if they ever decide to play that. For now I am just glad we have found some kind of sport they enjoy doing. Now we will be out at the "football" field every Saturday morning. Connor did participate in the first practice but decided he is not ready to play anything. Kyle, on the other hand, is out on the field running around, doing what the coaches ask and really learning the game. Much different experience then when he tried playing soccer.
Kyle is in an orange shirt/black pants, Kade is in black and blue shirt/black pants and Connor is in all balck. I don't know why there is so much black. In the photo above Cam is holding one of the football's watching the boys warm up.

Kade and Kyle are so excited when Saturday comes around. I am excited for them to have somewhere to run around now and a sport to learn. It will be exciting watching them learn the game.
