Soccer

Today was Kayla's first soccer game. Her team is the Lady Cobras. Marc is coaching the girls with a friend of ours, Mark Anderson. His little girl Ella is also on the team. It's easy for the girls to remember their coaches' names: Mr. Marc and Mr. Mark. This uniform swallows her and makes her look smaller than she already is! She absolutely loves it though.

Taking her turn to sit out and cheer on the other players. (Look how short her legs are! She's not even the youngest out there!)

There is no goalie for the younger ages, but Kayla hung out around the net. I thought Marc told her to do that to play good defense, but he said he didn't tell her anything. She just knew what to do. She was having so much fun!

We weren't really expecting a lot of excitement at today's game. Kayla's team was rained out of their first practice so they have only had one chance to practice and that was last Monday. Here she is running with her friend Ruby from the Lady Sharks. It was actually a really fun game to watch. They all learned quickly what they were supposed to do. At practice they didn't really have a lot of room to run around and there were 7 children trying to kick a ball around. Needless to say the ball didn't go very far. There was always someone in the way.

Right now everyone is resting. The girls are watching a movie, Marc is napping (being a coach is tiring), and Brooke is ready to nap. When is it my turn?
