Here, once you hit 4th grade or so, you can play 7 on 7 football. I honestly don't even know what that means, but the teams are coached by high school football players and they only play half the field. It's very up-beat and fast paced. The high schoolers/coaches hoop and holler and cheer for the boys. There are lots of hive fives and chest bumps. It's a lot of fun to watch. It was until today...
It Poured
Once the temps in Texas drop to the 80's, it's a sign the fall is on its way. That a good thing. I love fall - a lot. I really like it... every thing about it. The new school year is on its way, pumpkin everything comes back, the local corn maize is open...
Being a boy mom in Texas bring fall to a whole new level. I have watched more football the last few weeks that I ever did growing up in a house with just my mom and sister. It's every night, all the time. However, this was my view of the 7 on 6 game today. wrapped in a blanket, huddled under an umbrella.

They Kept Playing
It's up to the coaches and players if the game stops or if they keep playing. They decided they were wet anyway and kept playing. The high school boys were freezing and didn't have to continue. They could have gone home, gotten warm, eaten a warm home cooked meal with their families, but they choose to make an amazing memory with these boys.
We Stayed
The parents scattered to get umbrellas and jackets and more blankets and reconvened quickly to watch our boys have the time of their lives. We lined up in along the edge of the field and watched as they slid around and couldn't hold on to the wet ball. The player on our team with glass couldn't see a thing. And they loved it.
