Footy

Today was again footy with Benji ( my brother) and James (Pluke). Our whole family went to support him. We girls actually ended up helping out a lot. We asked coach if there was anything that we could do to help. He let us hold the bag thing that the kids run into. (you can tell that I know a lot about football....NOT! I don't even though what it is called) It was very fun. There are about 20 or 30 kindergardeners, and about that many firstgraders. About 15 or so secondgraders. 5 third graders, 1 forth graders, and 2 fifth graders (Benji and James). The boys still enjoy it a lot I think. We girls had a ton of fun helping. They little kids are so cute! It was very fun to watch them. The secondgraders probably did the best job listening. The third through fifth graders were pretty honoree. They just enjoyed showing off. I learned several off the kids names, but I did have a bit of trouble. There were at least 4 Williams, and 6 or 7 Thomas'. There was this one boy, Joel, and he was a bit upset because I couldn't say his name correctly. I guess I just don't say it with an Australian accent. Overall, it was very fun to help out. When practice was ending, it started to rain VERY hard!!! All the kids went inside, but we girls continued to play in the rain. It was pretty amazing, because in one corner of the field, it was barely raining, and in the rest of the field it was poring!!! It was pretty amazing. I love playing in the rain. It was very cold, but very fun! We are going to volunteer every week, we all had a bunch of fun!

Well, my fingers are going numb, and my legs are shaking from the cold, so I had better end this post, and go in to get warm!

Have a great day everyone!
