our soccer star.

Since swimming lessons didn't work out so well we decided to try again with soccer.  And, the 1st practice was a huge success!

Carter is on a parent/child team for the next 8 weeks with his best friend, Connor and 7 other little kids. It is the perfect mix of running, somewhat organized instruction to play a "game," and learning how to listen to a coach. His first practice was mostly just drills to get a feel for the ball.  He made a couple great kicks but really preferred to just pick up the ball in his hands and run across the field when it was his turn.  Oh well, 7 more weeks to learn!

 Lucy kept busy picking flowers in the grass and trying to run with the other kids.  I think I grabbed her off the field over 10 times.  Maybe we'll sign her up next season!

 He's the biggest kid on his team (of course).

 Matt had to explain many times to keep the ball on the ground! Haha....so funny to watch.

 Carter and Connor.  They are the bestest of friends!

Can't wait until next week!
