Gearing Up

Breaking in the new equipment for SOCCER SEASON!
At long last, our boys are old enough for organized (if you can call it that for 5 year olds) sports!
At their first pre-season soccer camp, we were relieved to discover at least one thing:  I don't think we have any "daisy pickers" -  a sports loving parent's worst nightmare.  They got right into the spirit of it, as Grant (in the green shirt above) and Cole (in the white) shows here.
Our favorite part was when Grant came over and told us after practice that the coach told them they should throw their elbows around if someone was in the way.  After we laughed our heads off, we explained that he missed one key word... NOT.  He was sooo disappointed.  He couldn't see anything wrong with this tactic, as demonstrated below: FOUL! (He's not even going for the ball, just the opponent.)
Brynnie is getting into the spirit of running around.  She's very good at running around.

Where will the season schedule be posted? We need to be on the sidelines. Papa Z is the BEST at crying out: GOOOOOAAAALLLL!

Kenneth says that he approves of Grant's blocking methods and has applied them himself for years. Though he can just stick out his elbows and run fast to wipe everyone out by their heads.

We want to come see a game too!! Do they have free snow cones?
