Tackle Rugby

Tyler had his first tackle game today. The boys have to tackle below the waist, so mostly it looks like Tyler slapping people on the knees as they run by, but here are a few pics of Tyler on the ground.

Here he made a tackle, but the kid was able to throw the ball before going down.
Here he just missed completely.
And notice he isn't being tackled in any of the pictures. He throws the ball as soon as he gets it so no one can tackle him.
Here are a couple of pics of Grant's game from inside the club house. It was around 48 degrees and wet and cold. Mason and I went inside to have hot chocolate, and even Mason refused to go back outside!

This is the boys practicing, but look at the grass, can you see the circles? I said crop circles....turns out they are called fairy circles. Its a fungus that grows in the grass in a circle. Often the circles have no grass and mushrooms grow in a circle. I thought that was pretty interesting.
And when we were outside Mason found a lady bug and spent about an hour playing with it. He never squashed it or tried to eat it or anything. He looks worried in this picture because it had almost gone down his jacket sleeve. He loved it.

How neat about the circles. Maybe that is what it is here ;-)

Rugby looks so fun. I wonder why there is not rugby here. I bet the kids would love it.

I can not get over how old Tyler looks, and the long hair. He is looking like a teenager.
