Spring Soccer

Having three girls playing soccer is a logistical nightmare.

The first game this morning was from 9:00 to 10:00. The second from 10:00 to 11:00 and the third from 11:00 to 12:00. That sure seems tidy until you consider that the first one was on 200 South, the second on 600 North, and the third on 2300 South. With zero minutes allocated for travel, you feel like you've already missed the first quarter before you get there.



As long as there is a playground, Thomas is always happy.







Ellie's team seems to mostly resemble an attempt by two coaches to herd cats.



Anna's games better resemble competitive soccer. (By competitive I mean the ball stays in play longer.)



and people push







But Thomas still just looks for the slide







Anna's team won big, and she and her two friends all scored at least one goal.

  2. Yay for Anna! Having a child score a goal in a game! I'll just have to imagine how fun that would be. :)

    Where are Becca's pictures? Stayed late to Ellie's game and left early to Anna's?

  6. I'm pretty sure all 8 and under soccer games are played by cats.
