Watching grandchildren do whatever it is they choose to do is one of the great, amazing blessings of being a grandparent. If one of my four grandchildren is anywhere, doing anything and I can get there--or, am allowed to be present!--I am there!
What follows in the video is a highlight reel from Wyatt's first season to play tackle football. You'll see him as #20 for the purple and gold Vikings. He's a great blocker, really steady on defense in the secondary or sometimes at linebacker, a hard driving runner at fullback (at times you'll note a pile of boys moving down the field at about 5 yards at a whack--usually Wyatt is under that file with the ball!), and, on several occasions this year, he breaks with the ball for long runs to the end zone.
I'll admit it is hard to determine who is doing what on parts of the video. Maybe it takes a granddad's eyes to catch it all. Watching helps me remember the fun of this season. At the same time, it causes me to remember and anticipate basketball (Wyatt and Owen), volleyball (Gracie), dance (Gracie), soccer (Wyatt, Owen and soon Henry), grandparent days and lots of other school related events!
Nothing better!
Enjoy!
The game will be played at the historic Cotton Bowl Stadium at noon, on Friday, December 26.
