Even In The Rain

Last night Zachary had football practice in the pouring rain! He was very excited about that. It seemed a little odd that kid would want to practice in the rain but maybe I the one who is not quite right. At 7:30 I pick him up, he looked like a drown rat and he was less than thrilled! His kept complaining his legs were numb and that not surprising considering it was in the low 60's. Needless to say, after practice he didn't have the same enthusiasm!

Plainville is much different then West Hartford, they actually have something for the kids to do on a Friday night. From 7:00 to 9:30 they have Teen night at the YMCA. I think vit is a wonderful idea, it give the kids something to do. So Zachary went last night and he said it fun, the music was a little different but it was fun. They sent him home with baggie full of stuff. Alot of handouts about being a teen, drinking, drugs and just being yourself. I thought that was an awesome idea, kids these days need a lot of support when it comes to being themselves and sometimes parental support isn't enough. The also gave them a granola bar and there was one of those promotional pens that had the group name on it. In West Hartford you would never have anything like this, the have a teen center but it is for kids only in high school and it is right after school. As I have stated before, I am sooo glad we moved to Plainville.
