Well, while all of you back home have been busy watching the Olympics, we have been watching an up and coming world cup team in our front yard. A few of the boys come over to kick the ball around and before long our whole front yard is full of kids, and noise, and a full on game is under way. These kids play hard and for a long time (one day, about 4 hrs) and they are very good. Kids of all ages and sizes play, the only requirement is that your brave enough to get in the middle of the stampede. However, it is sad to say that they will never get the chance to play on an organized team; that is to bad as I really do think some of these kids could represent PNG in the Olympics one day. Oh well in the mean time they have a lot of fun and provide some motivation for our boys to keep up.
I also must say it has been a little sad missing the Olympics. We have been able to keep up on the medal standings but that is about it. So cool to see Canada doing so amazing! No one else around here is as thrilled about that as we are. I must say victory is always sweeter when it is shared!
