Go Gators, Go Away Rain!

Cade continued flag football this season with Upward, and he was on the Gators team. They had a good, albeit very short season. Their last 3 or 4 (I don't remember; it was so traumatic for Cade that I've already blocked it out) practices and games were rained out, resulting in one very frustrated little boy. Highlights of the season were Cade's touchdown at the first game, Cade finally being able to play "rusher" instead of quarterback so he could run and pull as many flags as possible, and Cade being pretty mature about his first experience of not always getting to play where he wanted to play but where his coach wanted him to play. Annie's highlights were fruit snacks at practice :)

During the games:

Cade is a good listener (to coaches and teachers, not always to his parents!), and he goes straight to his spot when they are ready to play. He got pretty frustrated with the other players who did not hustle. Here he is being ready:



This league mostly does hand-offs rather than throws for the quarterback, and that position is not allowed to run the ball. So, since Cade loves running so much, he was kind of frustrated by this. But he was always ready to go fast after his job was through!



We were so happy to have so many wonderful people come to games with us this season. Cade is a very loved boy!




The best smiles are always reserved for running toward Daddy on the sideline after the game!



Until next year, flag football! Cade and his cheering/snacking squad will see you again!
