Kickball Jamboree

For the past 6 weeks, Jeremiah has been participating in an after-school kickball team through the Playworks program.  He has been absolutely loving it.  But, it all came to an end yesterday with a "Kickball Jamboree", which was held at the University of Portland (beautiful campus!) with about 6 schools from the district.  Since this program is really about teaching teamwork, cooperative play, good sportmanship, and other character-buidling attributes, this was not a play to win tournament.  Just some kids getting together with their coaches and playing a fun game.  The rain held off so we were able to enjoy a dry Jamboree!  Jeremiah did great.  Here are a few pics:
