Soggy Start to Soccer Season

Oh how I love alliteration. Anyway, Jake's first soccer game was today. It poured yesterday and it was really humid and damp today (yet cool, it was weird out). So the fields were slick and a little muddy, but totally playable. Jake was on the pee-wee league last year, but moved up to the Under-8 team this year. The kids were bigger and faster than him, and I think that frustrated him a little, but he did great for the first game. We really like his coach. This was Corinna's first sporting event. She was great. Aidan loved going to the concession stand. He's number 3 on the Teal, Valero Dolson Avenue Team.

GOooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaalllll!

Okay, maybe not goal, but lots of fun chasing a soccer ball on Jake's first day of soccer. He's on the Blue Team. The sponsor is a Dairy Queen so he assumed that if he scored a goal he'd get ice cream. He seemed to have a blast. Oh there was nothing cuter than a bunch of 5 year olds chasing a ball all over the field. And given his parents' lack of athletic ability, it's astounding that he's still in one piece! he did seem to fall a lot, but we're blaming the cleats.
