Running Man

 

 

 First track meet.  

Cuz In

A rare and wonderful occasion.  All of Liam's cousins on his paternal side.  On that day, he magically gained another one!  

Parroting

 

 

Things went much better this time.  Last time was nearly a disaster!

 

Sculptor

 

Putting on the finishing touches -- removing the "fire ladder" underneath our enormous Ponderosa.   If we do not build-up our snowpack, we are in for a dangerous fire season.

Selfish

 

He makes it look so easy to play "keep away" with the ball.   

Milestone

 

Liam gets the first yellow card in his 12-year football career.   He's the yellow alpaca haircut #34 in blue who collides with the Red #3 player on the right.  The green-shirt referee jumps-in right away, but naturally Liam believes it to be a legal tackle as indicated by his body language.  Note that Liam has perfect form, exactly like a Premier League player -- arms outstretched, palms up, wrinkled brow, quizzical eyes fixed on the referee.  Now THAT's real football.

Game, Set, Match, Tournament, Season

 

They played hard and well in the sleet and drizzle of the State semifinal, but weren't able to get past the wealthy private school.  The school with the well-paid coach and the hand-picked players from all over the State (and beyond).  No shame today; we'll get 'em next year.
