End of Soccer Season

5/17/08

Oscar and Zachary ended their soccer season today. Here they are with the awards of recognition.

They both had two games each and started bright and early with Oscar's 1st game starting at 7:30 am. Daddy had to get all the kids out the door by himself since Mommy was up in Cascade with a group of girls for a bookclub retreat. It was so wet that everyone stayed in the car and watched Oscar's game. He won and he was excited. Oscar's team either tied or won all their games this season. They had a good coach and they worked well together as a team.

Daddy coached Zachary's team this season. The boys on his team were all good, fun boys, but they were definetly there to have a good time. I know it was frustrating to Zachary who is very competive he wanted to win, or at least not get slaughtered. Daddy was okay with it until most of the boys gave up halfway through the games. Sadly they did not win any of their games. But the boys did get better about playing their positions, learning soccer techniques, and working together as a team. I think they (Daddy and Zachary) are both happy the season is done and Zachary is looking forward to next season and moving up a division to U10.

After all the crazy games, we had a crazy BBQ at the house for the team. We handed out trophies, t-shirts, and medals which the boys were so proud to have. We had hotdogs and somehow a water fight broke out with squirt guns and hoses, Daddy lost. It was very funny to watch, and thankfully the parents didn't get soaked.
