Soccer season seemed to be a success this year. Neither Joel or Grant ever complained about going or didn't want to do and they always had fun. I don't think either if their teams ever won a game, but they have no idea about that. They were on the same team, but each team is split into two when they play their games (older kids on one field, younger kids on the other). It worked out perfect us, since they always played at the same time, but didn't play on the same team (which is best).
Last game of the season, and I finally brought my camera with me. In my defense, I did bring it one other time, but they ended up playing in the rain that night.
Joel's style of play was to usually run around the action, but no BE the action. He didn't kick the ball much at all, but he was always running back and forth around the action and usually smiling.
Grant, totally surprised us and turned into quite a player for about the last 3 games! Gritting his teeth, trying to score goals was what his mission was for the the last half of the season. You can see here, from these pictures from the last game that he was quite involved in the action. After the last game, the coach even said about Grant, "Wow, that was really fun to watch Grant improve so much during the season".
I love the last pic, where their little heads area all red & sweaty & smiley :)
