Go Kicks!

Well, we have all been excited for Abby's first soccer game, including her, but this is how it started.  Before we left, she was mad about her shirt, which we had tried on several times.  She didn't want  to eat "nuffin" for breakfast and the cleats she practiced in every night this week were "killin" her feet.  You can see from this pic of her running away from the team, she was not a happy camper.

 However, after about 5 minutes of Daddy talking to Coach Michael and going out on the field with her, things quickly changed.

 She had a lot of fun during the 30 minute practice before the game. 

 We are lucky to have a great coach who even got the parents involved in the drills .

 We had quite a crowd come out to cheer for the Kicks.

 Watching from the Sideline-We have 7 kids on the team and 3 play at a time.  Abby liked being able to rest.

 Water Break- She was really excited to take her new princess water bottle.

 Caroline had a lot of fun kicking the ball around on the field during the breaks.

Score!

 Another Water Break

 Time to be a cheerleader!

 I made Caroline a little shirt like Abby's and when she put it on this morning she was very proud and rubbed it all over saying, "This is MY soccer shirt."

 Her first injury-very dramatic!

We were proud of her.  After regrouping and taking some pics of her teammates, she went back on the field several times.

Caroline ran out of steam toward the end.

Running through the tunnel.  Woohoo! Overall, it was a fun first game.  We had two tired little girls on the way home.
