playing on a pile of wood chips
I know it's blurry but those are my boys!
Well rugby season has begun. Of course it's Alekisio and Aisea's favorite time. I used to really dislike this time of year, actually I hated it. Aisea would go to practice twice a week so we wouldn't see him until 7:30 or 8 at night. Not because they practice that long, but because all the old men who can't play anymore go to practices and bar-b-q for the players so they all sit around eat, and "talk story", which is a local term for talking or gossiping with friends. This season however because Alekisio is so into rugby we get to tag along to practices and games. At practice Alekisio loves to "practice" kicking their version of a field goal, and he has no fear when it comes to running into the middle of the field to try and get the ball while they're all knocking each other over. Luckily the guys are cautious and they watch out for him. When they're not in the middle of the game they even throw the ball with him, he throws and catches pretty well considering the rugby ball is heavier and bigger than a football. I have to say it's a little scary to me that he doesn't think twice about running into the middle of a pack of grown men that are tackling each other. Like father like son!
