Soccer Season

This year Connor got really serious about Soccer! There was so much improvement seen since past years on the field, that his coach nicknamed him "beast!"

 

And just like all the other second graders, Connor got to try out his skills as goalie. No one scored on while he was in the goal all year! (Note: Hardly anyone scores at all with second grade goalies. They are a tough bunch to get a ball past, apparently.)

 

What I love about soccer, is that they keep the same boys on the same teams every year. We have been with basically the same group for 3 years now since our littlest fans (Kaia & Ashlyn) were just two years old. All the little sisters sit on a tarp, or run around in the background, or huddle under the same umbrella. For the second grade boys its hard work, for the rest of us its basically social hour :)
