Soccer!

This past Saturday started our soccer games for the year.

Megan is playing on a K-1 girls team, and is loving it. She and her friend Anna are July birthdays, and are therefore the very youngest on the team. That was very obvious this week, as they spent much time in la-la land while they were on the field, but they all had a fun time. Unfortunately, they only have 9 girls on their team, so that makes for very little rest time during games, but I think it's good for them : )

Here's Meg resting before her game. Isn't she cute?



Anna, Caroline and Lucy



Some of my fellow soccer moms. (And Julie who would just like to think she's a mom!)

Julie enjoying her chair!

Here's one of the few action shots that I have of Meg. She's #6.

Graci and Lucy go for it!

In the end, the K-1 girls tied 0-0.

Because of the way their birthdays fall, Ali & Emma both play on the 3rd grade girls' team. Aaron is one of the assistant coaches for their team. That means that if their team plays at the same time as Meg's team, I don't get to see the game. That was the case this week, but thankfully Jodi stepped up to the plate for me with her camera and was willing to share her pictures!

Here they are getting ready for their game . . .

I love this action shot of Karis (left) and Emma (#15). Emma loved playing, and (so I am told) was really into the game.

. . . Ali on the other hand . . . : ) This was her first soccer game ever. She spent quite a bit of time in outer space, but she's still learning. I loved this shot of Ali with the ball! She looks so focused.

Good game!

The 3rd grade girls lost 0-2, but the coaches were overall very impressed with how well they played!

This coming

Saturday, Ali & Emma's team has a double header (which is nice because I'll actually be able to see one of their games.) Meg will have game #2. Hoping for a win!!
