Game 2


Isaiah and Malachi each had their 2nd football games on Saturday. This time we spectators found a place in the shade to watch the game. It was much more comfortable but harder to see the game. Malachi played first. They lost 33-0. When the game was over, I asked Malachi if he had fun. He replied "kinda". So I asked if he won the game and he enthusiastically stated, "Yeah!". He had no idea! But Ray did, with his blood pressure up, he wondered if he would be able to finish out the season. Isaiah played next. They also lost, 26-6. But Isaiah played a great game. He sacked the quarterback! Whoo-Hoo! And he made a couple of other tackles too! I was very proud. He was beaming!
Samara, oblivious to the games, found a friend on the sideline. Another mom, searching for shade, was sitting very close to us. She, too, had 2 sons playing in the league and they were at different age levels, so she had 2 games to watch. She also had a 4 month old son named Boston who Samara fell in love with. Samara played with him, fed him a bottle, and even got to hold him! I posted a picture of them.
