Soccer

 

We did it!  We survived our first soccer season with 2 soccer players.  Kyle was frequently less than enthusiastic at the games, but he had fun.  9 o'clock is just a little too early for him to be playing soccer.  

He did make contact with the ball which is always good.

 

The last game he got to take the ball down the field for the kick off.  He dribbled it sooooo slowly down the field, then finally did a big kick toward the other team.  Immediately some kid on the other team booted it back and it nailed poor Kyle in the stomach.  Hopefully he forgets about that before next year.

 

Evan improved a lot this year.  He managed to get in to the mix a lot more, and even learned to pass and managed to score 3 goals.

I love the wall waiting for the other team.  They had to stay back until the other team dribbled it past half field, then they could attack.  It made it so everybody could kick the ball some which was nice.

In the end Evan's team was undefeated. 

By the end of the season even Grace had figured out what she was supposed to do for our 2 hours of soccer games.  She did pretty well not running on the field, although it did happen a few times.

She also loved getting herself stuck in the big nets.  Lucky for me it didn't rain too hard on us (these pictures were from our one sunny day) and hopefully next year Brandon will be able to come to some games too.
