On April 7th soccer season began. Alex started us off with a late evening game. It has been raining so often that there was no practice to get everyone ready. But they all had fun anyway. Alex's good friend Emily is on his team and he was very excited to play with her.
It was freezing out. Probably 40 degrees with a below freezing windchill. So we all got our winter gear back out of the closets.
Alex had a blast as usual.
He is really getting the hang out of being goalie. His coaches have discovered that he has a real talent for the position. Much to our dislike they have been placing him at goalie for nearly half the game the past few weeks. After a couple of quick words from Adam that shouldn't be happening anymore. I think I was doubly perturbed by it when Alex asked to stop and they said " why...you are doing so good". Vomit!
Jonathan plays on Saturday morning. It isn't technically a game. Actually, they call it a clinic. For 30 minutes they run through drills and then for another 30 they scrimmage with another team. Jonathan loves this. He has really picked it up fast and has been asked to take a soccer camp this summer.
Once again we froze our tails off watching. This first game was the only one I watched for half the season. One was cancelled, one rained-out, one a by week, one was so cold I had to take Jacob home, and one I was very ill for. I was so sad but went this past week and saw amazing talent emerging.
Here is Alex watching his bro. Our friends are in the background. Owen plays on Jonathan's team which is good for Alex. He can play with Emily while waiting.
Here is Jonathan practicing.
Such a goof ball.
