Soccer

We now entered into Soccer Season! Yeah! We love to start our weekend with exercise and fun! It couldn't have worked out more perfectly in terms of location and logistics. Ella and Carter both play at the same time and at the same location. Their fields are just kiddy corner of each other. Carter's class of 3 and 4 year olds is packed. Imagine teaching 20 some boys and girls to play. Coach Justin is full of energy and personality! I may need to bring him a coffee mid May because this group keeps him on his toes. Carter's good buddy, Kyle is on the same team! However, by the end of practice last week, they had forgotten the rules and their game was looking more like tackle football than soccer. Boys!@*! Warm ups
heading in for the goal!

Ella is on a small team of only five. But she is getting a lot of practice with skills and technique! Is seems like just yesterday she was in the little kids class!


Christian is getting a little practice to, here he is caught in the net.

Drills!
Look at the concentration and listening! At this point, he was very focused. I had to take the picture for evidence)

We are off this weekend. But will be back at it soon! We're not sure if the kids will go next weekend since I have my race downtown and they would really like to be there. There just never seems to be enough time in the day. Two day weekends are so short.

Soccer is fun! Russell still plays weekly and Sloane begins her first season mid-May. She is pumped to leave the side lines for her own team. Ella looks so tall and athletic. Carter sounds just like Russell...serious soccer star one minute...football the next! Boy will be boys. Have a fun weekend, a restful week, and see you race day!!! I got caught in a thunder/lightening storm this a.m. and had to hang out in a strangers open garage. Funny!!! I was soaked! Hopefully my shoes will dry out by the race.
