Luke's Rugby team in Qatar!

The entire family ( and yes our dear friends the Douglas family too!) went to Qatar to participate in a Rugby tournament-Bahrain mini-Rugby vs. Doha!! It was such an exciting weekend!!! Doha is more conservative than Bahrain (Islam-wise) so we didnt get out of the club much, but we didnt need too!! It was one of the most exciting things we've done here. Luke loves his Rugby buddies and he was playing with kids who have been playing for years. He was "shakin and bakin" all over the field (as Chris says). Luke has only been playing for 6 months and was neck in neck with his buddy Felix for Player of the tournament. As kids were grabbing his flag, he was literally dragging the kids along as he sent for the score! In one play he literally had 3 kids on top of him and he held onto the ball and he crawled to the line dragging them along! The coaches all said how Luke played like an "american football player" weaving in and out of the defensive line. He even jumped over a few guys at one for a score. In the end, he scored about 1/3 of the points, his buddy Felix scored a third, and the rest of the team scored the last third. Lots of boy time and fun for all. As usual I was so proud of them both as we were getting on the bus, Luke started panicking because he couldn't find Layne! She was on the bus safely (smile) and he later came and sat with her because his friends didnt want her in the back with them. That's Luke! Here are some pictures of a great weekend! (Clark Douglas is to Lukes left and his twin Tyler is behind Luke with his thumb up! CLick on the photos for a close up These 3 are inseperable )OOps forgot to add...they won every game and took home the tournment trophy.
