Brooke and Riley played soccer this spring/summer. Eric was the co-coach and they had practices on Thursday nights and games on Saturdays. They were the youngest on their team and although the season was a tad challenging (they, especially Riley, got pretty tired by the end of the games) it ended today on a high note. Today was the Soccer Jamboree and the kids had 4 short games this morning. They made it through and actually said they wanted to play again in the fall. It was a great way to end the season.
Here they are in the huddle before their first game today. I loved the way Brooke had her foot on the ball in the photo below. It was probably the only time her foot was on the ball the whole morning. She tends to run away from the ball but she enjoys playing anyway.
Here the boys are on the sidelines waiting for their turn to play. Brooke played with the two other girls on the team, Cecelia and Eleanor.
They were both very proud receiving their trophies today. When we got home they found special places for them in their bedrooms.
One last photo in front of the goal! After the games, the kids enjoyed jumping in the bounce houses and doing an obstacle coarse. We went out for lunch to celebrate at Paradise Pizza. Then we went to Dan Patch Days for a little while and let the kids do some games and listen to the Splatter Sister sing. Another busy day for the Spielers!
