Flag Football

Macen started football this past week and had his first game. He found an open spot in the first play of the game and ran for a touchdown. Later he made a great dive to stop a touchdown for the other team.

Some Boilermakers Football

We finally made it to a Purdue football game. We had to sit through some rain but it was still a good time. Not a good game for Purdue though.

Cardinals vs Reds

We took full advantage of our last free weekend before sports chaos starts. We made the 3 hr drive to Ohio for a Cardinals game. Cincinnati has a beautiful stadium! Another perfect day trip for us.

Weaver came over to give Maddox the practice ball he had been using and signed the boys' baseball. We were pretty tickled with such a nice gesture. The boys ended up with 3 autographs.

We had great seats - third row from the field. 

A Little Bit of Sun

We headed up north one more time this year. The water was chilly but they (mostly Maddox) didn't care. As soon as we got there, Macen fell in the sand to play for awhile and Maddox headed for the water. 

Playing some football with dad.

Macen kept practicing his cartwheel moves and finally got photobombed by dad

Maddox kept running down the dunes, lol.

After the beach, we went for some ice cream at Bubbles. Then we headed west a little to try a brewery and back to the much loved Albanese candy store :)

Touchdown

Maddox's football season has started. He was able to score a touchdown and get in a fake pass. He was really pumped with both moves afterwards. He doesn't quite get it yet but a few more games and I think he'll have a better understanding of the game.

Here we go...

The boys had their first soccer games over the weekend. Both games ended in ties :)

First Day of Kindergarten

The day has arrived where this little guy headed off to kindergarten. He was more than ready! He was very nonchalant about going to school and riding the bus. They do a kind and gentle start here so only half the class went yesterday and the full class will be there today. Each kindergarten class is color coded for the first week so they can identify other kids in their class and the staff can better direct them to their classrooms.
