Other challenges had to do with getting used to running and training in heavy equipment. By the end of the season, though, he was running hard and fast.
Zane loved the new friendships and the direction he received. We learned more about the kind of person we want to be and the person we don't want to be.
The season was long, beginning practises at end of July and wrapping up his championship party just this last weekend. The league is going through major transformations, so there were a lot of growing pains. Even so, the Cowboys ended up the best team in the league. They lost one game by 1 point and questionable refereeing, but they redeemed themselves against that team for their last game, in which the Cowboys won 38-8. The last game was in a high school stadium and oh so fun, even in the cold.
The Cowboys also volunteered with cleaning up the local high school stadiums and fields the mornings after high school football. It was a great reminder to clean up after ourselves and put our trash in the trash can. The recommendation to use leaf blowers to help push the trash to one spot is so brilliant and made the process go pretty quickly.
Hendrix was a great little brother and tagged along for all the games.
The championship party was also great. The boys loved their surprise of Buckeye Game Room set up in our hosting family's garage. The boys were thrilled and felt all of their hard work rewarded.
