Start of Spring Soccer Season

Carter asked to sign up for soccer again this Spring so we obliged.  It is surprising how much the kids have improved from the Fall.  He gravitates to playing defense and enjoys standing in the goal or running up to kick the ball away.  Occasionally he switched it up and will score a few goals.  His team is mainly composed of school friends so we enjoy the opportunity to do some adult socializing as well.  And Parker has started to show a real interest in playing as well.  We have to bring his soccer ball to the game so he can play along the side line.

Here are some pictures from March games...

Warming up for the first game

Running with the team - they play 4 on 4 on two fields

Carter scoring his first goal of the season

And his second

Parker's favorite side line position - in a chair with a doughnut

Post game - Parker was worn out from all the cheering and required more snacks

Practicing with the big kids

Love Carter's excitement at his team missing the goal ;)

Carter fighting off the other team (probably his own teammate too!)

Different "chair" - overseeing the game from the swings

And loving it!
