Yesterday BYU was holding their annual scrimmage blue against white at the BYU Lavelle Edwards Stadium. As if that wasn't enough reason to go there, they were also having a free football clinic for kids ages 5-12. I thought it would be fun to take the boys since the weather was supposed to be nice and we haven't been out much lately. I packed up all 3 boys and headed to my Mom's house in Orem-where we dropped off Spencer. Sorry kid, but you're not 5 yet! And then Derek and I went with Jonah and Jonathan to the football clinic. It turned out to be fun and chaotic all at the same time. There were a lot of kids. The football field was set up with 6 different areas. They had banners marking the different positions such as: Running Back, Wide Receiver, Quarterback, Linebacker etc... First the kids ran to the Running Back position and did some drills with the BYU Running Backs. It was so cute to see the tiny boys next to these huge men. Jonah and Jonathan both did great-even though the ball was bigger than their heads and possibly half their body in Jonathan's case. After Running back they tried Wide Receiver and Quarterback. We bypassed Linebacker since that is pretty definitely not in their future as they are both small for their age. Jonah caught the ball great as a Wide Receiver and Jonathan threw it great at the Quarterback position. We had so much fun and got to see Fui Vakapuna up close. I think the kids had a great time and it was so good to get out into the sun. Hopefully the video helps you get the idea of how awesome they were...:)
