Soccer!

Cole and Claire started soccer this past Sunday. It was beautiful outside, a little windy, but super warm. Perfect for soccer! I was worried when I signed up it would be cool when it started and it would make the first few practices not as fun if we were all bundled up, but we lucked out! The practice is actually 1 hr and 15 minutes of pure running! I was shocked that the kids were able to go like they did. The coaches were great and had lots of fun tag games, drills, and even scrimmages to keep the kids busy. The both LOVED it, but we sooo exhausted after it was over! And since it is Sunday afternoons, Cane didn't nap, we spent an hour and 15 mins on a blanket watching kids run and playing with tractors. I think I am going to like this Sunday night-kids in bed AND sleeping by 8:00- thing!



Once again, just like the bike riding posted below, I underestimated Claire. I was nervous that it would be too long for her and she would give up once she got tired. But she ran all over chasing that ball up until the last minute! She shocked me with her motivation and endurance, she LOVED the scrimmage!


Of course, Cole loves any sport with a ball. He was loving all the tag and competitive activities. No shocker there.
