Last Upward Game

Today was our last Upward Saturday of 2013.  We had a great time, despite a rain shower and some tears on the field.  Here are the pics with a few stories interspersed.

 Paul hangs out with Coach Adam toward the end of a defensive play.  This is a fairly common sight this year.

 Paul waits for the play to start.

As Paul's game was ending, the clouds arrived with a shower that meant we all needed to dawn our hoods.  Paul was undaunted and joyfully excited to run through the tunnel.  Here he comes!

 And there he goes!

 Our heroes!  Three generations of Upward Awesomeness - Coach Adam (dad), Kai (son), and Coach Tim (grandpa)

 My guys love giving high fives to all the teams who run through the tunnel.

Go Upward!

 After his game, Paul finds a quiet spot near Luke's practice to enjoy his snack bag.

 By the time it was Luke's turn to go through the tunnel, the sun was shining.  Gotta love this town.

 Luke running the ball on the Luke Sneak.  He's pretty intense when he plays.  He's pretty intense when he does anything, isn't he?

Not pictured - Coach Tammy who had to be somewhere else today.  And Napoleon, the best twelve year old assistant ever, who mysteriously disappeared after the game.  Probably to the snack shack.  :-)
