Football season is over

There is a time for everything,

and a season for every activity under the heavens.

Ecclesiastes 3:1

 

Tonight we enjoyed this beautiful sunset on the way home from PD's last football game of the season.  Football has made life very busy but it was fun to watch PD play each week this fall.

 

 

PD is number 14.  His team played hard and learned a lot this season!

 

 

He played running back on offense and defensive end on defense.  PD has always loved tackling his brothers so they were glad he got to tackle some other people for once! (:

 

My dad said when he was in grade school the kids practiced for their team sports during P.E., and then played their games during afternoon school hours.  The whole school got out to watch them play.  Too bad they don't still do things that way, it would be a lot nicer!  Traveling to practices three times a week in the evenings plus games every Saturday for 3 months got to be a little much.  But PD had a good time playing and we enjoyed watching him and cheering him on.
