Big Boy Fun

I was walking down the hall of Chiawana and saw this. 
Talmage is the second from the right on the back row.

I was holding back the tears as Talmage ran onto the field for the first game of his last season.  He has come so far in 4 years, being the freshman kid that walked onto the team having NEVER played football before.  We really couldn't be more proud of him sticking with something so challenging for very little play time.  I am so going to miss him and his fearlessness.

The last Saturday of September, Rhonda and Robert McBride took Talmage and Bryant rock climbing.  Apparently, they did a fantastic job and were key to helping everyone be successful that day.  Robert said he has taken a lot of athletic kids climbing and has never had one top Talmage as a rock climber.  Bryant was just as skilled, just not quite as tall as far as being able to reach the anchors.  Way to go boys!
