Soccer Saturday

Saturdays in September and October are filled with one of our favorite things--SOCCER!

Cameron plays with the U6 team, and Colin plays U8. The boys do a great job, and I must say Colin has the most handsome coach I've ever laid eyes on! *ahem*

Getting a little advice from Coach Daddy

Cameron and his friend/teammate Reef

Soccer is during one of my favorite seasons--Fall. It's amazing how we can go from watching the soccer games in short sleeves and shorts (picture taken the first week of September)....

...to (this picture taken today) three layers with sweatshirts and hats!

Cameron is doing excellent for his first year.  Much, much better than we could have expected! He has scored several goals, including three today!

Goals #2....

....and #3!!

I love love love how he and his teammates get so excited when they score. It doesn't matter who scored--in this case, Cameron's friend Nathan (to his left) scored--but Cameron was just so happy for him!

It's so cute to watch!

 

Colin is doing better each game as the season progresses. I think he found moving up a little difficult.  The kids are much bigger than on the U6 league, and I'm sure it's a bit scary! (There are some tall eight-year-olds out there....) Shane has kept him on defense for most of the season so far, but today moved him to offense--and shortly after, he scored! His first goal of the season--it was awesome!

Ahem.

It's been a great year so far--we can't wait to see what October will bring for this soccer-loving family!
