Davy and Leo the Lion. 
The crowd loved it! Dave was his charming self. And had all the hundreds of kids completely quiet. Which he didn't realize is quite an accomplishment at an elementary school. He had kids come up on stage and show their soccer moves. While he talked about how sports players stay healthy. Leo the Lion got the crowd excited. By doing standing back flips and all sorts of craziness. This picture is when they were throwing out t-shirts to the crowd of kids. Followed by a song from Davy, "pockets on the floor, pockets on the floor."
Davy and his rendition of pockets on the floor. One of the sweetest things was that Leah got to introduce Dave to the school. We didn't know she was going to do it so this wasn't rehearsed at all. She said, "Hi this is Leah Ratchford from Ms. Schneider's class. My dad works for Real Salt Lake the soccer team. Please put your hands together for my daddy Davy Ratchford."

You and Leo were a big hit Dave! Eli was sooo excited to go to school that day. And Leah...I'm so glad you posted her intro! Now you'll remember it forever:) It's ok to cry Dave.
I heard all about it after school that day. Everyone loved it! I love that Leah introduced her daddy. So cute!!
So fun! She'll always remember that! BTW...you better call me girl!
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU again for doing that! I appreciate it tremendously. When Mrs. Christensen told me that I could introduce everyone at the assembly, I decided to have Leah do it because it would be much cuter! I pulled her out of the crowd literally a minute before she had to be up there. I think she did a great job!
SOOOO cute! What a great thing. I bet the kids loved it. Hey, when can we get together? I'd love to meet up in SLC for a date night sometime soon.
