The Dolphins.


Okay so on a good note, we got a phone call on Wed night from Brother Smith in the branch. He asked if we had ever thought about putting Tip into football. We said yes but Hunter is a little to nice for football. Brother Smith said that he could come to a practice and see if Hunter wanted to try to play. Brent took him on Thursday and he had a blast! He didn't mind falling down and he loved being able to push people over and not get into trouble! We signed him up and he had his first game this morning.

Our little dolphin has the biggest helmet they make, a complete pad outfit (including the jock strap) now try to explain that to a 6 year old.
Brent actually did a great job with that one.
He put it on Tip and flicked it! Hunter laughed so hard it was making me cry. Then he took it off him and asked Tip if he could flick it again. This was followed by a hold of the crotch and a no way dad. So the strap stays.
He had a great time this morning. His team only has 13 people on it and you need 11 to play, needless to say Tip saw a lot of playing time. He is a natural and his coach said so too. Well what should we expect? His dad played and had the biggest head too. He unlike his father does not have a huge Orange sticker on the helmet (that means you can't carry the ball cause you are to big) and he loves the game and the kids. His cheeks I have to say are so adorable in the helmet that I could eat them. I know I am a bit biased but he looks the cutest of all the kids on the team.
