Soccer's Over

Soccer is over! Even though we had four different teams to keep track of, it was not bad. Our soccer league is very family-friendly, only having games on Tuesday and Thursday nights at 5:30 or 7. There must be ten or more fields there together, so everyone can play at the same time. It was a first experience for the girls, and they enjoyed it. Rachel got on a team with one of her good neighbor friends, Jordan. Jordan is in the picture above with Rachel, wearing pink shorts. Amanda's team got outscored over the season about 100 to 10 overall, but as she, like most of her team members, was mainly there for the social occasion and the snacks, she was happy anyway. Benjamin showed great improvement from the last time he played soccer two years ago, as well as from the beginning of the season to the end. He says he definitely wants to
play again, so we were very pleased. David had a good season, though a bit rough-and-tumble, receiving a kick to the gut and the face in one game while he was playing goalie. It was a nice way to spend summer evenings, so I guess I have to say that being a soccer mom is not so bad, after all.
