Da "K" Spot: Go, Swamp Dragons!

2013 DeRidder Swamp Dragons

Robert is finally at the age to join little league and as we have decided to make DeRidder, LA our home for at least he next three years it is time to get him involved in community based sports just as Garrett played little league football, basketball, and baseball when we were in Upper Marlboro, MD (boy time surely flies). Darryl is simply elated at the fact that his boy is playing and is an active team dad helping out with all of the practices. Robert has practice Mon,Tue, and Thurs from 5:30-6:30 and his first game is slated for Sept 28th.

As Garr and Dae threw the ball around, Darryl and I couldn't help but reminisce about the years we spent together at Garret's practices when he was Robert's age and the comparisons are hilarious. Garrett was always doing something at practice - kicking dirt with his new cleats, picking weeds/flowers for mommy, and tackling on instinct (even though its flag) - Robert does exactly the same things, lol

Garr is having his sports physical tomorrow and hopefully he'll be back on the DeRidder Junior High School team, then I will have two athletes in the house and a whole bunch of carpooling and coordinating to do PLUS one super proud dad (even though he's first and foremost a Redskins fan)!!!!
