Day 7 - Sports day

Today I went to see my older grandson Weston play his championship football game for the Rebels, his Flower Mount youth football league.  Coming into the championship game today, the Rebels were undefeated and also had not been scored upon all season.  The weather was absolutely beautiful for a day at the ballpark and all the kids on both sides were pumped and ready to play.  At the end of the game, not only had the Rebels won, but they remained unscored upon for the season--a new record for the history of the youth football league in Flower Mound!  So it was a first for the entire league and for me to get to be there to see the record be set!  How exciting to be a part of this milestone with Weston!

Another first for me today (I have a few to catch up on since I started 7 days late!) was having a Anzac biscuit with my coffee for breakfast.  When offered the biscuit, I had to ask what in the world it was and found that my world traveler kids learned about these while in Australia during the Anzac celebration in Australia last year.  Anzac Day in Australia and New Zealand is the equivalent of Memorial Day here in America--a holiday on April 23 celebrating the Armed Forces in those countries and these biscuits (very crisp cookies) are a standard treat for the day.  Mandi (my daughter) found these at World Market and so another first--not only learning about a holiday in another country but also the treat associated with it.  Very tasty biscotti type cookie tasting of oatmeal and cinnamon not too sweet but perfect with coffee!
