The First Soccer Game


You would think I would have some pictures of AJ since he was the one playing the game. But I don't.  I spent most of the game making sure Charlie didn't run on the field, steal the balls or trip up the ref. 

I would feel worse if this had been AJ's first game EVER. But, it was like the 10,000th. Or, at least it felt that way. In fact the kids had done this so many times they started, and lead their own stretching exercises before the game.

Shawn in the coach again, but we are in a new league. And 8 out of the 9 players were in the old league with us and on our team at one point throughout the years. It is actually kind of great. All the kids know each other and the parents, for the most part, get along OK. And as those of you in organized sports know, that can be the most important part of the equation. 

It was a good game. The teams were evenly matched and we ended up in a tie. 

And the snack mom brought oranges!
