For the first time ever we had all three kids in soccer at the same time. Grace was finally old enough and we went for it. It was a little crazy having soccer practice 4 nights a week, and 3 hours of games every Saturday, but we survived and everybody had a good time.
Grace didn't really care about the game all that much, but she ran around a lot and had a fabulous time. She did connect with the ball a few times and was very excited about it, and we had a great time watching. Successful first season.
Kyle is starting to develop some real skills as a defender. I don't know why he decided that was his position, but he has and he's stuck with it. He isn't afraid to attack anybody with the ball and he saved quite a few goals. In a completely un-Kyle like move he scored twice in the last game. He was so excited about it, and exhausted when he came out from running so hard.
Evan played with a team we loved this year. His coaches were awesome and really worked with him to develop some skills. By the end he was doing well as a defender and had the idea of the different positions down. Probably the most improvement ever in one season, and although his team only won one game, he loved every minute of it.
One game was especially rainy and this was us huddled watching. There were puddles in the tent and we were all soaked by the time we got back to the car - although nobody was as soaked as Evan.
Evidence of said rain. It was insane.
The last game he was all over defense, stopping quite a few people near the goal. It is so fun to watch his team as they are figuring it out and it is looking more like real soccer and less like everyone just running around following the ball. It will be fun to watch them continue this fall.
Two pictures Kelli took of the spectators at Evan's game.
