Soccer Saturday

Bennett had his first official soccer game on Saturday.  It was so hilarious watching our kids run around after a ball that might or might not go in the correct goal.  Our team, the Jolly Green Giants is made up of all friends that are not particularly athletic or coordinated.  We didn't care... it's all about fun!  Our team didn't really have a strategy other than fun.  The biggest break-down was that they couldn't understand why the other team would try and take the ball from them! :)

Gooooo team!

Maddie, Georgia, Ansley, Coach, Bennett, Mason, and Caroline

Yay!  Bennett got the ball!  We used Maddie's pink ball because we didn't the girls would play with any other color.

Bennett enjoyed picking flowers during the game.

Bennett picked a pretty flower for me during the game

LOVE THIS!  Bennett and Maddie crying because the 7 year old from the other team took the ball away!

No one was keeping score but we could definitely tell who won.  Our team's MVP of the day was Caroline...she is a whiz with a soccer ball.  At one point in the game we had 4 goals and 2 of them were scored by the other team for us!  It was so much fun and actually the best entertainment I've had in a long time!

We got in the car after and Bennett exclaimed "I hate soccer!"  To which we replied "we don't say hate."  

Here's hoping that next week is better! :)
