Exercise is Fun?

Oh, if only I could share my children's enthusiasm for exercise! These pictures were taken on Saturday at Ryan's final flag football game. His team, the Saints, won their final game of the season in a 2-1 shocker by capturing one of the opponent's flags just before he crossed the goal line in the final seconds of the game. The team has not had the best record this year, but the boys all had a great time, and never lost their enthusiasm. In fact, they've really looked good the past 2 weeks, just in time for the season to end...

We spent the entire day outside, soaking in the gorgeous autumn weather. The day started off crisp and cool (almost cold), so my Pumpkin Spice Latte (skim, no whip) really hit the spot. The girls actually started off watching the game sitting on their little chairs snuggled under a down blanket. But as the morning progressed, the temperatures rose, as did the girls' activity level. As you can see from the pictures above, they are thoroughly engrossed by watching the game, and rarely, if ever, divert their eyes from the field. Right! Fortunately they are really good sports about tagging along to Ryan's games, and I will be sure that he tags along to their activities to show his support whenever possible. I don't know what we're going to do if they all decide that they want to do different activities. I guess we'll have to look into cloning Kevin or myself. Hmmm, I wonder if I could make my clone be the one to do all the household chores...

By the afternoon, it was so warm outside that we all shed our sweats in favor of T-shirts at the end of season party at the coach's house (our neighbor). We spent the entire afternoon outside, playing basketball (Ryan & Kevin), running around (Olivia & Katelyn), and taking pictures (me). Topped off with wings, salads and margaritas, and a Virginia Tech football victory, the day was pretty darn good!
