Let me start by saying neither Cody or I know much about the game of soccer. Abby played (if you can call standing on the field twirlingwith her hair playing) a couple of seasons but after a bee sting while playing goalie called it quits. Hope, our very active child, already takes dance once a week and karate once a week, decided she just had to play soccer. If you know Cody or I at all, and yes I am a little more guilty of this than him. We never tell our kids no to an activity. While this makes our lives a little crazy, it provides great memories and expierances for all of us.
Hopes first game was last night. The weather was perfect! She did pretty well for never having played before. Cody has been practicing with her this week and I think it payed off. She got right in there and was kicking and chasing the ball. I will have to video tape her running because I can not really describe it but it does show she is quite girly. We will have to see how the "sport thing" plays out with this one. She did not really enjoy her time as goalie because as she said; "my team is so good I didn't get any action while I was there, it was boring" I have the pic to prove it. Anyway, Cody, Abby, and I enjoyed watching as much as she enjoyed playing. Good job Hope!
