Sideline Rugby

Yay! Aunt Tif is going to the regional qualifying tournament with UVSC's rugby team and possibly on to nationals! We got to go see Tif play rugby yesterday down at UVSC and it was so neat to see her out there! Seth loved that he got to see a rugby game since it had been a while, I loved watching Tif do something she loves and learning a little about how rugby works in the process, and Morgan's favorite part was playing sideline rugby. After watching the game, I am not sure how I feel about him playing real rugby...it looks a little precarious for my taste, but he was so cute playing with Seth on the sidelines.

He started by running down the field kicking the ball (a little more in the soccer arena than Rugby, but whatever) and then Seth taught him to tackle. Whenever Seth had the ball, Morgan would "tackle" daddy and make him fall down. A couple of times Seth was too busy watching the game to realize that Morgan had just "tackled" him, but Morgan didn't give up, he just backed up and did it again. Here is the cutest video clip ever! Watching Seth play with Morgan made me so greatful for such an AWESOME husband who is such a good dad.

Here is a picture of Morgan when he missed the ball and went rolling over it, don't worry no owies. It looks like he is doing some fancy footwork though!

And one more video of him kicking the ball. Based on this, I am definitely putting him in soccer this spring!
