Soccer Fun

Kymberly was playing with one of the soccer balls and the coaches youngest daughter decided that she did not want her to play anymore and so took it away. Kymberly is actually pretty good at dribbling the ball....not so good and remembering that you do not use your hands in soccer. I guess that we have a little while to work on that one though.
Alex is warming up for a game in this one. Often I would forget to take a picture during the game as I was having to make sure that Kymberly was staying off the field as she wants to be right out there with the big kids and play not just watch.

Kathryn loved finally being able to be old enough to play soccer this year. She did take a hit to the stomach once this season and came to the side lines to cry and was telling me that she was going to wait a little while and then go back in the game. I told her that there were only about 2 minutes left in the game if she wanted to play. The tears quickly dried up and out she went. I think that she was overly stressed about running correctly as she had heard Alex's coach talk about running on the "balls" of your feet and so I often would watch her run with such a look of concentration while she was way behind the rest of the kids. Yet I think that she had fun and I know that she loved getting the medal at the end of the season.
