Football has started for Jacob. They have played 2 games and won both of them.  The coaches definitely know what they are doing and really working to help the boys get a good grasp on the game by teaching lots of technique, skills, etc.  Both of the coaches boys have played for years and it is obvious that those two boys will be playing ball in high school.

During the last game he scored a touchdown but running it down the field.  So, when you score a touchdown, then you get to kick off.

 It is a short season, only 5 games but just enough to pacify the football urge this kid has.  He keeps gravitating towards football.  I keep trying to steer him to another sport.  At least it is not tackle yet!

We are down to about 2 weeks left of school.  We are all very ready.  I have rearranged all of our daytime commitments so that they fall on one day.  That means lots of lounging, kids doing free play outside and then getting together with friends.

Working on final plans for our road trip.  Whenever we stay on the road, I prefer to swing the reservations the morning of.  I would hate to have reservations somewhere and then want to keep on driving...however, I sometimes get caught paying ridiculous rates because it is last minute and rooms are full.  So, being proactive this time around.
