Are You Ready for Some Football?!

The 2013 NFL schedule has just been announced! Not that any of our neighbors would know that. But, hey, we can get excited...especially since we'll be Stateside for the football season this year, so we can finally watch games live on TV! 

What better way to get excited and prepared for the upcoming season (GO EAGLES!!) than to teach some neighborhood boys how to play football. American football. Very few Acehnese know what football is, let alone have seen or held a ball. So, one day after work, as Corey pulled into the driveway, he noticed some boys hanging out near our house and invited them over to play. 

The first attempt at a throw...not bad!

 Watching from the sidelines...

 The first catch...they thought the ball was the strangest looking thing they've ever seen!

 Trying again...

 Waiting his turn.

 This kid loved it...and got pretty good at it!

 Corey demonstrating.

 This kid said, "Forget that weird looking ball, let's throw this one!"

  More watching from the sidelines.

 Lots of cheering and laughing!

 Our little girl {who already knows how to throw a football} was cheering the boys on!

 Listening intently to Corey's instructions.

Boy in red: "Hey! I want the ball!" 

Boy in blue: "Sure...if you can get it from me before I throw it!" They are learning quickly!
