GOOOOOOOOAAALLLLL!!!

The boys drive down, swerving and dodging opponents, running and panting, just a little further...taking turns running and kicking...one player to beat...the goalie crouches waiting for their move, Myles shoots, the goalie streaches out for the ball...it's to hot for him, it sails right past and into the corner of the net! Gooooooooooaal!!! The rabid group of parents and toddlers scream with excitment! "What's the score?!" "Uh, dunno...this is pee wee soccer...they don't keep score" says a parent. "Oh", says the now not so interested teenage passer-by as she keeps walking.

Well the soccer season has come to a close for the year. It has been really fun to watch the boys develop, and learn these sports (Myles and Mason had t-ball this year too). They really enjoyed running around kicking, laughing, falling tackling - yes, sometimes they forget its not football and/or they remember it's their brother and they decide to tackle for fun or frustration. Either way they really had fun. Oh and they thought the shin guards and cleats were really cool. We're glad they both got to be on the same team, which was awesome for them to play together and it was nice to be able to just worry about one game and one practice each week.
