Soccer season...again!

Okay, I am sure most of you are wondering if we do anything else with our lives (besides soccer). I would have to say...NO. This year was a special treat with Alex playing HS soccer we had soccer games year around. (Wait, we had the month of December off.) We ended the HS soccer season with a game that was rained out over spring break. (That was very disappointing.) The rest of the week was warm and sunny, just not the day of the game. No worries practiced started up for the regular spring soccer season the next week. (Luckily for Polly, practice is at the soccer fields across the street from our house...no driving.)

The team in prayer.

We drove to Arlington Saturday morning to play the first game of the season. The team struggled in the first half. They realized they had forgotten to pray before they started and then they were able to score two goals in the second half...the final score 2-0. Alex played well, as you can see from the pictures below.

Always going for the ball.

Trying to show some moves...

(I just love his facial expression on this one.)

The weather was in the 70's, but the wind was crazy. Polly was a little worried about driving home with her allergies kicking in. Luckily the second game of the evening was canceled and that meant we were able to get home in time for dinner and not have to drive at night.

Can we say happy!!

Savannah enjoyed the trip. She had fun running around and cheering for her brother. She enjoyed teasing mommy by running out to the soccer field and just stepping over the line. She also discovered flowers that she could pick.

Having fun running.

Picking the flowers. (Weeds)

It was a long day, and a start of a long season. Driving so much and so far for soccer is not something we are going to miss when we leave Texas.
