Goal!!!!!!

Today started our 10-week string of soccer Saturdays.  Kara and Ben were both excited for their first games.

Kara had a rough season last year... I don't think they won a single game.  But this season looks to be much more exciting!  Last year, Kara primarily played the position of defender, but Coach Javier thinks Kara has good skills and encouraged her to be a forward.


Ben played goalie and I think he found his calling.  He stopped three balls, did great throw-ins and he doesn't have to run!  All he needs now is a big tree to provide shade and he'll be all set.


Even Jason got into the spirit and wore Ben's old uniform to the game, just to be like the big kids.  Jason patiently sat through three soccer games... because after Kara's game, I found out she had a second game and we ended up being at the soccer field for four straight hours!


And good thing... because in her second game, Kara scored her first goal!!!  And with her left foot, I might add... only because she does when she tells the story.

Though they technically don't keep score (though everyone parent does), Kara's team won both their games.


Not a bad way to start the season!
