But this year, our five year old grandson Owen is playing Pop Warner tackle football.
So the other day, I had the opportunity to go to a "game" , and take some candid photographs of him on the field. This one is Chelsie's favorite. Mine too.
Watching one of these games is very interesting. No score is kept. Each team has the ball for 10 consecutive plays, and they can run it into the end zone on every play if the other team will let them. At the game I attended, the other team was mostly 7 year olds, so they did just that.
It's just to give them the chance to get on the field, and start to get the flavor of playing football. But what a kick.
Then, last Friday, he came into the studio and we captured the images for his very own Varsity Edition (if you haven't seen these, check out our website). We'll post that as son as it's finished.
Kathie and I are loving being grandparents. It's easier to start with a five year old - we inherited him in a package deal with his daddy Chris, who married our daughter Chelsie in August.
