Flipper Bowl 2013

Last Friday night was the highly anticipated (by Jackson) Annual Ward Flipper Bowl! Eric had a soccer tournament, I don't play, Megan doesn't play, and Sadie doesn't play, so all of our hopes and dreams rested on Jackson's itty-bitty shoulders.

His first match-up was against a 10 year old boy.



Jackson played well and ended up with a decisive victory:



His next round featured a match-up against an 11 year old boy:



His concentration signature pose involves a side exposed tongue:



Another decisive victory!!

Round three brought the toughest competition yet! A 15 year old Young Woman:



The tongue makes yet another appearance:



This was a close competition but Jackson pulled it out for the win!

Round 4. The round before the finals! This time he sparred with another 10 year old boy.



The tongue again!



Jackson was ahead the entire game, but in the last 5 seconds his competition scored a touchdown and took the lead by one point! Crushing!!!

But luckily Jackson is good natured and was beyond thrilled he had made it so far. He couldn't wait to call Eric and tell him the wonderful news.
