Soccer Saturday!!

Soccer Saturday has a whole new meaning now since we have 2 games to watch!!  Thankfully, the first week and most of the time Dani's game is at 9am and then Lily's is at 10:30 which just works out perfectly.   I can not tell you how excited I was for Dani's first game.  It is so fun at this age because usually they are not paying attention, picking flowers, chasing butterflies, etc.  Dani for some reason was NOT excited like she was for practice.  She was scared and didn't want to play.  But I got her dressed, drug her down there and just as I had hoped she snapped out of it and got out there.  

My Purple Penguin ready to go!

My soccer stars!

Go #4!!

You would have never know that Dani was ever hesitant to play, only 4 years old or playing her first ever game. She was AMAZING.  She chased after that ball, always knew which direction to go, turned the ball around which was a skill Lily learned in like 1st grade.  I was shocked and impressed.  She scored 2 goals and had a great time!!  In fact all but one of her teammates scored at least one goal.  Looks like the Purple Penguins are the team to beat!

Next up was the Roos game.  Now Lily's team has never been the best team, but those girls have fun trying.  This year they moved up to huge fields.  Nearly regulation size, so that is a lot more field to cover and a lot more running.  They seemed to all do okay with the bigger field and bigger goal.  They didn't win, but they sure looked cute out there!

Super Defender Lily!

Coach K, the PE coach from Lily's (and Sophie, Courtney, Katelyn and Logan) school came out to watch the game.  She is amazing and so supportive of her students!!

I promised Dani ice cream if she made a goal and then had to promise McDonalds if she would just go out on the field.  She got both!!
