Cole's first Flag Football Game!

Cole had his first ever Flag Football game Saturday and let me tell you..

THEY ROCKED!

Cole's team - the Detroit Lions (don't laugh!) - beat the Kansas City Chiefs, get this,

40 - 0

Yes, you hear me correctly:

Lions 40

Chiefs 0

Their league, through Metro Parks Tacoma, is all NFL sponsored and each team is an ACTUAL NFL team name with official jerseys! And although the real Lions haven't been doing so well in the past year, he is SUPER excited to be a "Lions", just like his Dad's hometown of Michigan.

Cole getting lined up for a play, he's a runningback!

The team looked AWESOME! They just kept catching balls and running them into the end zone! And in flag, they don't kick for the extra point, so we kept getting the 2 point conversions as well! We've got a quarterback who has played for this team for the past 3 years and who also plays tackle football, so he's very talented. The coach and his team were undefeated last year, so we're hoping for a repeat!

Awesome job, guys!! Very fun to watch!

Heading down the field

It was a beautiful day, sunny but a bit windy and cold - PERFECT football weather! Grammy & Grumpy came to cheer on Cole too and took us out for a celebratory meal afterwards. Thanks G&G!


Team meeting after their win!

GO LIONS!!!
