Soccer Stars

The kids each had their VERY FIRST soccer games last Saturday. And guess what...I FORGOT my camera. I can't believe that not only did i FORGET MY CAMERA, but I didn't even realize I'd forgotten it until the second game! It was SWELTERING HOT on Saturday. I am glad that it was the kids running up and down that field and not me. It was bad enough sitting on the sidelines! Gabby's game was at 12:15. She was AWESOME. Wow. I was actually pretty surprised at how well she did. She ran and ran and ran. She stole the ball. She dribbled all the way down the field. She stole the ball again...she kicked...she passed...she dribbled. She even played goalie and did fabulous. It was very exciting to watch.
After Gabby's game, we went to lunch...and then we hurried back to the field for Nick's game. He played at 2:45. It was STILL hot. VERY, VERY HOT. Nicholas got all red and blotchy in the face but he did great. He seemed a little lost and confused on the field, wasn't sure which way to turn for the "throw ins" but he did great. He ran and ran and ran. He got right into the thick of the play. He wasn't shy, he didn't complain. He wanted to be IN the game all the time. He jumped up and volunteered to go back in when another player got hurt. He says he made a goal. Chad and I missed it, if it happened. I was in the bathroom for a short time (lunch was at McDonal'ds...enough said) and Chad may have been talking to someone? Whatever the case, Nicholas is sure he made a goal.
The Farm Grandma and Grampa and Grandma Elaine all made it to both games...it was fun having a big cheering section for the Trent kids! I'm going to miss this Saturday's game...and I'm pretty bummed about it. I'm missing the game after THAT too. So, you'll have to wait for photos. Hopefully, the nice weather will hold out.
