Soccer Stars!

Today the girls played in their first soccer games of the 2008 fall season. They had so much fun! They were so excited to get dressed in their soccer uniforms and get ready for the games. It turns out that both of the girls have green uniforms and both have the number 2 jersey. You can imagine that Carolyne thinks that is pretty special... she really wants to be just like her sister and having the same number and uniform color is about as close as she can get! Carolyne's game was first today. She did great! I think she was a little intimidated by the overwhelming number of boys on the field, but she held her own. She even kicked the ball a couple of times. It was so cute to see her run around the field following the ball wherever it went. She was a little sad that she did not get to play with her pink polka dot ball. But, I am sure all of the little boys were happy to play with a traditional black and white ball. Mary Grace played after Carolyne and did great! Of course, her age group is a little more serious about the game. She played in almost every position and even scored a goal! She had so much fun! She is learning so much about soccer and I think with each practice she likes it even more! When she was not playing, she was leading cheers for her team on the sideline. They named their team the "Green Monkeys". After our games were over, we walked over to watch their friend, Carleigh, play. She also did great and had lots of fun! It is no surprise that soccer is such a popular sport for kids!
