Today was the state championships for little league football. Conner is #27, he had some amazing plays. They played against Hillcrest, and won 33 to 6.
Our team mothers really take care of the boys. They brought football cookies and drinks for the boys after the game. On the last practice of the week they painted everyone's car windows with the boys' names, number and "take state". The team was really pumped up for this game.
At the end of the game they took a team photo. This will be in the local paper in the next week or so. This team has taken state 4 years in a row, that is why all the boys are holding up 4 fingers. Conner played with this team 2 of the 4 years, but he still liked to brag about 4 state championships. He says they broke a "World Record" for state championships...I'll have to look that one up.
The funnest part about living in a small town is the small town fire department and police department. They really care about the boys, and take the time to celebrate with us. They took the boys on a ride through town on the back of a fire truck with sirens blasting. All of the parents followed behind honking our horns. People came out and waved, cars going the other direction would honk and wave too. I think the boys had a great time.
I took about 5 pictures of conner on the back of the fire truck, he kept hiding behind his friends and turning around backwards. This is the only one that turned out okay.
