Our first soccer game

The kids joined a soccer league. They've had two practices and had their first game today. Gordon was hot, but having fun, from the beginning. Adele was frustrated and bonked her head in the first minute. But after a break and a pep talk, she was very into the game. Walter played happily until he realized they were losing, though no one was keeping score. He got a nice talk from the other parents and then he started having fun again, too. He also was keeping his own score. We have no idea how you got points according to Walter, but whatever made him happy!

Uniforms on and ready to go

Walter was number 5. We scored a bunch of goals just after halftime. Walter almost scored once.

Gordon had a great time and hustled whenever he saw the ball in action. Adele is the one running in the middle. She had fun and managed to play the ball a number of times.
