Henry had his first game on Saturday. He ran the ball twice and had two touchdowns and played great on defense. He's the best player on our team and I'm proud of him. Oh, and we won the game 26-18. It wasn't nearly as close as it sounds.
Tomorrow is Henry's first day of first grade. He will ride the bus this year to school and go to Ready Set Grow after school for a short time until we pick him up. Jack starts pre-school tomorrow so he'll be in a new classroom too. Exciting times.
I had a busy week. Chicago was fun then my now annual trip to the Wilds for some fishing and a tour of the wild animals. It was great, I fed a giraffe and touched a rhino. What more can a guy ask for? This weekend we had some of Sarah's college friends to the lake with their babies. That was different for us; for the first time in a while we didn't go to the sandbar and hang out.
Next week I start P90X, the workout and diet program. I'm excited to see what it does for me. For the first time in my life I can say that I'm overweight. I know its true when I can't get into some of my pants. I hoping to lose 2 waist sizes and gain about 5 pounds of muscle. I start the day after Labor Day.

Flag Football
Flag football started Saturday and the first practice is tomorrow. I've volunteered to head coach so we'll see how that goes. Henry tested out as the #3 kid in the league, a combination of speed, agility and catches. I'm proud of him but that meant I didn't get a pick in the first round. Football will definitely take away from the lake this fall but we'll work around it.

I have 100s of pics to go through but here are the big catches of the week from the boys. Of course, Jack held his but Henry wouldn't.

Ready for home
Today is our last day in Canada and I'm ready to get back to the States and home. It's been a great trip, great weather and everyone had a blast. Photos soon.
