Today Koa had a flag football game, and it was cooooold! At gametime it was only 55ºF and drizzly. To make matters worse, there was a decent wind as well. But once the game got going I think the kids forgot about the cold and just had a lot of fun. It helped that Koa’s team did great, and won by a score of about 21-6. I say “about” because I can never remember if they make the extra points or not. But Koa did fantastic, with a great run almost for a touchdown, and then catching the touchdown pass two plays later!

The photo above shows a pretty nice umbrella shelter from the wind. I wish I had one of those! Below is a photo of the team huddle after the game. Koa really enjoys playing sports and is thinking of trying baseball this year sometime. I think he’ll do pretty good!

Backpack-less

I recently sold my other backpack, the North Face Base Camp Hot Shot, which was a tiny bit too small, and today I sold my REI Flash 65 backpack, so I am officially backpack-less! It might be the first time ever! Well, at least since grade-school oh-so-long ago. But hopefully my new North Face Router backpack will arrive soon. The Flash was perfect the one time I used it for an overnight backpacking camping trip, but after that, it just stayed in the closet… so it’s good that it will find use with a new owner. It’s also good to keep decluttering the house! :)
