It was flag football season in January and February here in Florida. Carver LOVES this time of year. Carver LOVES football. Carver is a little bit obsessed. Espn obsessed. Sports center obsessed. And mostly...obsessed with being outside PLAYING his favorite game. He and John have LONG conversations about teams and plays and players and EVERYTHING football. They watched so many games together. They discuss plays together. They play in the back yard together (All the while...Cooper tagging along and sucking up so much information). We all went to highschool football together. It has been fun. But Carver about died when the highschool, college and NFL seasons of football were over, so this Flag football season saved him. Extended the Football Mania for a while. We loved going to his games and practices and we had fun watching him. He had a great team, and excellent coach, and I love how much these kids are learning...in a safe environment (before they need to get their heads torn off in tackle football...who knows when we will let him do that). And in flag football, you have to be on your toes. It takes more than brute force to pull those flags, and still keep up with all the complicated plays and such. You have to have some serious precision and a little strategy. I think it will make them all better tackle football players in the years to come.
Obviously I have no video skills, but at least I caught a little of Carver in action when he was playing quarterback one game. Good job Carv.

He runs...he grabs the flag... mission accomplished. (Even though mom didn't catch the whole thing on camera)
