Another Great Season

Brrrrrr! It was another chilly one out there on the soccer sidelines. Today's games brought an awesome season to a close. We battled the cold wind and light rain during Grace's game, but it was a fun one to watch! Her team finished their season with a bang, winning 6-0! Five out of the six goals were scored by different people, and Grace was one of them! We are so proud of how much she has grown throughout this season. Good job, Grace.
Here is Grace with Coach Trent.Megan's main position throughout the season was left midfielder. Today, her team also won 6-0. This season, her team went undefeated, so that was really exciting! Her coach this year was the grandpa of one of her teammates in basketball the past two years. When we walked up to the soccer field at the beginning of the season and he recognized Megan, that was neat.
Here is Megan with Coach Biglands. For the last four or five weeks of the season, this is how we enjoyed the games.....dressed in layers, sporting winter coats, hats, gloves and scarves, wrapped in blankets, huddled together, and seeking shelter from the wind underneath umbrellas. That's what helped make the season so memorable. I have enjoyed all our sideline chats throughout the season and will miss them when it's over!

Week No. 4

It was a chilly one out there along the soccer field side lines this morning! It spritzed a little during Grace's game, but thankfully the rain held off. There's nothing worse than being cold AND wet. I am thankful we took the time yesterday to dig out the warmer clothing, along with hats, gloves and scarves.

Megan's game started at 9:30. The team they played was the green team, the same one they so lopsidedly beat a few weeks back. Today's score was 4-1. The green goalie made several amazing stops!

This picture was taken just after Megan kicked the ball up field to her teammate.
Approaching the ball.....At 11:00 we moved over to Grace's field. She played forward for three of the four quarters. She had several close shots, one even up to the goal line, but the goalie made a good save. Her team lost 0-1.
Grace and Honor take the ball back up field.The first thing we did after arriving home was to get out the warm blankets and put them in the van, where they'll be ready for next week's games. What Leah did when she got home ~~ she promptly stripped off her winter coat, scarf, and clothes and put on her tutu. Brrr! Makes me cold just thinking about it!

P.S. Just before posting this entry, Leah came to me and said (can you guess), "Mom, I'm cold, so I'm going to stay right here." Silly girl!
