Spring Soccer

Grammy and Pa gave Emmett and Gracie soccer lessons for their birthdays, so we spent three nights a week and Sunday afternoons at the soccer field for about 6 weeks. Amazing that only one weekend of games were cancelled for snow on the field!

The games were always during nap time...
Emmett was usually 4-6 inches taller than the other kids on the field and he wasn't afraid to take off down the field if he got the ball, so he probably averaged 3 goals per game!
This was Gracie's first season playing soccer and she made huge improvements from the first game to the last game. By the last game she wasn't afraid to charge in after the ball and run it down field if no one was in front of her. She didn't score any goals, just took a couple great shots at it!
