Last Soccer Game

I've written about our first soccer practice and our first soccer game. So after 6 weeks, just how far did we come? The photos are proof.

Starting the game. Look, both of my kids are on the field! This in itself is an improvement as Sweet Son wanted nothing to do with the field during the other 5 games.

The game begins! There go 4 players in blue and 3 players in yellow. Wait, aren't we missing one?

Hi Sweet Son! You were supposed to follow the ball. 

Let's try this again. All of the players are running to the right, except Sweet Son. He didn't stay in the game very long, but we are proud he was willing to at least get on the field.

The Tiger Team

This final game started at 8am and it was already in the 90s. It was also the day of the team photo. They scheduled the photo for 45 minutes before kickoff. We had to have the kids awake, alert, dressed, fed, and to the Y by 7:15am. This was the first time Sweet Daughter started to think soccer isn't a great sport. Sweet Son had already decided he was done with it. Even today if you ask them they will insist they don't like soccer. The good news is they love tennis, horseback riding, biking, and many other sports. We tried it, but we just aren't a soccer family.
