Our little running back...

Dallin has been so excited to play flag football and he finally had his first game on Saturday.  We weren't sure what to expect, maybe some first graders running after the ball and tackling each other even though it's FLAG football.  We were pleasantly surprised.  About half the team was in lala land, but some of the boys were really good and looked like they knew what they were doing.  Dallin really surprised us, as we are not a football watching family and the most we've done is toss the pigskin around the yard with him a little.  He did great and had 3 really great runs.  (He thinks he got a touchdown, but he went out of bounds at like 2 feet from the end zone - we'll just let him keep thinking he scored...)  He's just about the littlest guy on the team, but he's one of the fastest kids they have (ok, now I'm bragging.)  We'll have to see how the rest of the season pans out.  We also made some great friends with another family who has a boy on the team (and is also in Dallin's first grade class) and a girl who is in Emma's third grade class.  Should be fun!

Ready for the play!
