Flag Football Week 2

I couldn't go to Ben's football game yesterday because of the sick girls, and also he had to be there at 8am for team pictures and it was 37 degrees out so I was quite happy to give Joel that honor. The game was against Steve Smith's team. It is his son's first year playing in the under 12 league, and Ben's second year playing in the under 12 league, so they didn't play against each other last year, but the year before that they did , and the year before that Ben was on Steve Smith's team. The first half was difficult due to the cold but after Ben got warmed up properly the game turned into the "Ben and James show" according to Joel, with Ben playing QB and James wide receiver. Ben threw four or five touchdown passes and James was catching balls all over the place. After the game (Ben's team won) Ben says Steve Smith came up to him and James and said to Ben "Nice to see you again. You got taller. Nice throwing." And to James, "I need to know where you got those gloves, boy." (Referring to James's wide receiver gloves).

Here is one of Ben and James's touchdowns, caught on video by James's dad. (Afterward he doesn't get the two point conversion).
