Soccer

It was the last day for soccer for the summer. Alex's class got to pick what games they wanted to play. They played Buffaloes in Grandma's Garden, Bugs in the House, and the Ice Cream Game. This was rainbow ice cream that she was bringing over to show us.

The last game they played Alex called "Scribble", but the coaches didn't understand what she was asking for. Then she tried "Scrabble," and it still took awhile for them to understand she meant "Scrimmage". Which they then did. And it was as awesome as the scrimmage last weekend!

Alex got the ball and carried it up the field to the goal. Some kids ran with her, but mostly, they just kept her company. They might have tried to take the ball away, but Alex wasn't having any of that.

Goal!

Alex with some excited teammates.

She got the ball when the other team tried to make a goal, and carried it up the field again.

Breakaway!

Run, Alex, run!

Another goal! Go Alex!
After this goal, they switched the positions around so that the other kids would have a chance to play more. They put Alex on the wing, and honestly, she still tried to make goals! The girl loves soccer!

Happy spectators!

After a quick library trip, it was time for Nick's class.

Nick doesn't seem to love his soccer class as much as Alex, at least not at the beginning of the class. Once he gets going, though, he has fun. This was a game that involved Nick kicking the ball at Dave's feet.

Some of the games make Nick giggle. A lot. I love his giggle.

There's a lot of downtime in Nick's class, while the coach explains the next game to the parents. The kids sit on their soccer balls, and it's very sweet.

Goal time! Nick lines up his shot...

BIG kick!

And in it goes!

Time for a congratulatory high five from Daddy!

Nick even warmed up enough to the coach to give him a really big high five at the end of class. Hooray!
