Playing Rexburg

Yesterday, the boys played against Rexburg Red in Rexburg. It was a good game. All the boys got to play, and that's what's important to me. It was kind of a weird day. We expected it to be a little cool, but it was actually quite warm. Ty and I both got sunburns and we were very thirsty by the time the game was over. Ty's parents came to watch the game and Tristan was very excited to have Grandma and Grandpa there. We won the game 34-0. It was a really good game with the boys making some very good plays. It was a lot of fun to watch the boys having such a good time. I felt bad for the other team, though. The boys were trying so hard. You could tell such a difference between our "fans" and theirs. Even before our team started scoring. First of all, there were twice as many parents and such on our side, which surprised me because it was their "home" game. Then, every time our kids did a play, whether they did well or not, we were cheering them on, either with, "Good Job!" or "Great play!" or "Go Panthers!" on the good plays or "Good effort!" or "Good try!" or "Good job!" on the others, you know? There were no cheers coming from the other side at all. How are they supposed to stay fired up if their own parents seem so disinterested? We were maniacs on our side and they seemed kinda bored. I kinda wanted to go have a little parents' meeting with the moms and dads on that side. "Hello? These are your boys and they are playing their best. Show them some love, would ya?" Oh well, there's not much I can do about them, and our boys had SO MUCH fun! All in all, it was a good game and a good day.
