Watermelon Relay

Football practices went much better this week.  Zach really has enjoyed tackling.  I like the way that things are run this year with the team.  We have a green team and a gold team, and each gets a chance to play on each side of the ball.  We also have a set number of QBs and RBs, but we have one RB slot on each team that rotates throughout the season.  That way, everyone gets a chance to play in multiple positions.  Zach has really enjoyed playing on defense.  He loves tackling.  🙂  He is still center on offense and enjoys that.

Tonight, we had a treat…  There is another team that practices at the same field who we had a watermelon relay with!  The boys line up and carry watermelons down around cones and back, passing them off to the next in line.  After the relay, you then eat the watermelon and have a great time!  🙂  Our boys were funny to watch, as some of them are not much bigger than the watermelon they were carrying!  🙂

After the relay finished up and they ate their watermelon, we finished up the last half of practice.  The kids had a lot more energy after that, having just had a break, a lot of fun, and some great watermelon!  🙂
