Our First Ever Soccer Practice!

Soccer on Wednesday was great!  The boys loved it and were sooooo cute!.  Jeff and I stood there and were just so amazed that we were already at our kids' first sports event!  They had great ball dribbling skills.  They got a little tired at the end-it was 45 minutes.  C and O are the youngest and smallest.  There is 1 other boy and 3 girls.  One girl wouldn't even go on the field so was so shy.  It's going to be very very funny.  There were hundreds of kids and hundreds of balls being dribbled all over the place. It's amazing the kids kept track of their balls!
 When we arrived at practice we had to search for our coach. We asked about 3 different guys in red hats if they were out coach before finding ours.  The uniforms were laid out for each player and we found Chase and Owen's with their names on the back!  So cute!   Chase and Owen wanted to put the uniforms on right away-over all their clothes.  Then we had to put on their shin guards under their huge socks, the looked very professional and they loved it!

 The coach got everyone in a circle.  They shared their name, how old they were, etc.  The boys did well, although Owen was shy and put his head down while talking.  The coach asked the next boy in line if he was ready to have fun and the boy said, yes and then Owen yelled, "Me too!"



 Chase takes off and dribbles around the field.

 Chase was learning how to put his foot on the ball like the other kids in the group.
 Now all the boys try.
 Of course there was some silliness on the field by Owen
 Owen dribbles the ball toward the goal.
 Chase gets ready to kick.
 After making a goal of course you must go into the net to get the ball out!
 We had a little scrimmage and the boys were the blue jersies.  They stood there so cute!  We told them to block the goal so no balls could go in.  After saying that, all 3, a the same time, went and stood right in front of the goal.  All the parents laughed and laughed.
