Keaton
This is the first year that any of these kids can play so they have never been on soccer field or played and organized game of soccer. The opposing team however looked like little Beckhams...their coach is a little more competitive than we are. So the game starts with our three players standing there and giggling with excitement. The other team kicked off first, took the ball and ran all the way to make a goal. Our team stood there! Ok so they didn't really get the point yet. Next, we kick off. One of the players kicked the ball and then just stood there. Again the other team took the ball all the way down the field and scored another goal. Three new players came on the field so we are all thinking...."they have been watching so they will know to follow the ball". Wrong. It took our team a good 10 minutes till they actually looked like they were playing soccer. I guess this weeks practice will be to FOLLOW THE BALL!
All the parents did get a good laugh and some awesome photos. We could win $10,000!
Tatum
Tatum's team is alittle different than Keaton's...there is only one player who has not played before. Kids actually followed the ball and made goals! When our opponents got there we realized that both teams had the same colored jersey. Confusing. So our team had to turn ours inside out. Tatum's team is called Green lighting and the opponents were the Highlighters...our jersey are an obnoxious fluorescent yellow/green color. Tatum did really well. I think she made a few goals.
Weston does not like soccer! He was very unhappy most of the time we were there so I missed some of each game. Hopefully next week I will get some good photos to post.
We are going to Houston this evening to eat with the family. Uncle Russell, Aunt Jill, Jeff and his girlfriend came to visit and see the new babies. We are all excited because Celia came home yesterday! If you want to check them out, Marc and Stacy have a website: www.thehugheszoo.com
