Soccer!

First game of the season last night. After two years of driving waaaaaaay up here for spring soccer games, I was giddy at the thought of being just two minutes away.

Holly plays mid-fielder, and she does a great job getting right in there. She's a super-speedy runner with a lot of stamina, and she is all over, up and down the field.

Look at my baby against these big guys!

I told it was better for her to play well but have the team lose, than to have the team win but for her to play badly. She played very well.


Trevor's team was unexpectedly missing their goalie. Instead of using the back up goalie, the coach asked for a volunteer, and Trevor stepped up. It was a bold move, as he's had no experience there. He did a great job, stopping the ball both times it came through the posts, and his team won.



I was thankful that we had early games, as the later games were rained out.
