Soccer

This summer, in addition to dance, K has taken up soccer.  We are playing in our town through the AYSO organization.  She's thrilled to be on the purple team and even happier that 2 of her besties are on the purple team too.

Her age group plays once a week.  They practice basic soccer skills and run some drills for the first 30 minutes and then scrimmage 3 on 3 or 4 on 4 for the other 30 minutes. 

Last night was her 2nd night, we had to miss 2 due to weather and dance commitments, and she had a BLAST.

I don't think I saw a moment when she wasn't beaming out on the field!

During the scrimmage, it took her a little bit to realize that she could be agressive with the ball and the other players, but once she caught on - she was after the ball any chance she had.

Sure, she got knocked around a bit...but she was very proud of herself when she told us she was being tough.  She was even prouder when she told us that she "even knocked over a couple of the yellow guys."

I'm still flying on the auto modes of this camera. I did sign myself up for a DSLR photography class in a couple of weeks. Can't wait to learn how to use my camera!

Love you!!!
