but no tears . . . yet. The boys are loving rugby, but the season is almost over. The past two weeks Caleb and Carter’s teams haven’t had practice because of the heat and in a week or two all the age groups will break for summer.
Hot or not, they love it. The running, the tackling, the competition, the mouthguards . . . and I love that it wears them out. Too bad they can’t play every day. This trapped indoors stuff is not good for their mental health or mine. We’ve all been missing our yard in Egypt. I would send them outside to play soccer, baseball, or basketball every day. Here they have the small cement patio, but it’s so hot now that you’ll burn your feet if you’re not wearing shoes. And they can’t seem to play more than five minutes without kicking the ball over the wall, so that’s sort of a downer.
They’re already excited about playing rugby again when it starts in September. I’m counting the days until school starts and they’ll be able to have PE, after school sports, and rugby . . .
