Football Game Thursdays

Nathan had his first football game last week. The first thing we noticed a few weeks ago when Nathan's team got together for a scrimmage game was that they are all pretty short. They don't really have any big or tall boys in the team. That's a bummer!
But, they have no other choice but to play hard and play smart.

Sydna helped watch Riley while we watched the game.

Not sure what he was doing to sister but he was being good and staying out of peoples way.

That's Nathan. The one the arrow is pointing at. My sister had texted me asking to send her a picture of Nathan in his football uniform but as you can see we really aren't that close to the players. Since this was an after school game and once we got there, Nathan was already out in the field. And once the game is over all the players gather around the coach and they talk for about ten minutes or so. After that they go into the locker room and change. So I haven't had the opportunity to take a picture of him in uniform yet.

I know that my entire family would have a blast watching Nathan play. Wish they could be here to see him.

They lost this game but I know that Nathan is having a fun time out there on the field. He's a starter and that's a good thing. He just needs to get more aggressive.

If he continues to play in high school I'll definitely be a nervous wreck. It's been in the news recently that three football players have died while playing high school football. Scary and very sad.
