Flag Football

Gideon had the opportunity to play some flag football last Saturday with some missionary guys. Most of the guys on his team are affiliated in someway with Logos. They played a team of guys from another international school and of course Gideon's team dominated with out even a little bit of practice. Any chance Gideon gets to play some football, especially here in Cambodia where American football is not a big deal, he will take it even if it means hurting himself and being sore for the next week. I went to watch so here are some pictures of the team in action.


Team Huddle



Gideon was the guy who snapped the ball every time.


Check out those lightening fast reflexes that make him a great football player!


I don't think Gideon will allow me to go watch him play again. I worry to much that he pushes himself too hard and of course can not sit out when he gets hurt because that is not manly! One guy on the team dislocated two joints in one finger, taped them together and went back in to play the next 45 minutes. At the end of the game he couldn't move that finger at all. Why? Why do men feel they can't sit out and take a break. Anyway this last picture was the best part of the evening. The beautiful sunset!

  1. Love the pictures! Love that Gideon got to play football. Love the "why" question, Kristy:). There is not answer however! Check out Britton's face book pictures on random adventures and you will be asking more WHY questions! Love you! Mom
