Saturdays

This is what we have been doing every Saturday for the last 2 1/2 months.





Avery played on a darling soccer team this year, with several friends from her school, and even her little friend from church.   I loved watching her.  She decided that the loved soccer, as long as she could play defense and didn't have to run up and down the field all game long.  Too tiring.  Watching her reminded me of playing soccer when I was little, and how much I loved playing.  She is also very good at chatting with the other girls out on the field.

GO PURPLE POWER!


And this is what my boys did; wait, and watch and try to stay out of trouble.  Actually, most of the time, Brady and Nathan would run around playing tackle soccer, a game very close to tackle football, only with a soccer ball, minus the pads.  They are going to be bruisers when they get big.

This year Isaac decided that he had had it with tackle football, and really just wanted to play a fun game of flag football with his friends.  His team was coached by one of his best friend's dads, who was positive and friendly and encouraging.  Not a yeller at all.  I love that.  He had a wonderful time, and like Avery, loves the social aspect of team sports almost as much as the sport itself.












And this is what the little ones did while they waited.  They loved going exploring through the pine trees.  Nathan's face tells me they are up to no good.
