SOCCER!!!

The girls had their first soccer game of the season last Saturday.  It was Anna's first game ever.  They're playing with Upward, so they got to run through the red tunnel as their names were announced.  They got a kick out of that.
They both had games at the same time, so Jason and I took turns watching each of them.  It was fun.  Anna was slow to warm up at first.  After a few minutes she started running with the ball and kids, but wasn't trying to kick it.  Toward the end of the game, she had started kicking it and getting right in with the best of them.


This is Megan's second year playing soccer.  She played really well.  She scored two or three goals and had a blast! 


Whew!  Can't you tell she's just exhausted!  :)

At their next practice their teams had a scrimmage against each other, and Anna completely came out of her shell.  I think having Megan playing with her caused her to want to play just as hard as her big sister.  She was a force to be reckoned with.  Jason and I just looked at each other and thought....where in the world did THAT come from?

Thank you!! We had a great time and Becke did a wonderful job! She was so nice and patient with my wild bunch!

It looks like you are having a blast with soccer. Almost every game this spring has gotten rained out for Ethan. Huge bummer!

Hope you are good!
