Soccer Update...

Ikes had his first soccer game yesterday, and he was awesome!!! Of course, when I went to take some pictures of him scoring all those fabulous goals, I found out my camera was out of batteries!!! So here we are posting a "visualization" of him playing his first soccer game.
Five-year-old soccer players are funny to watch. It goes a little something like this: huddle, huddle, huddle... kick... run, run, run... huddle, huddle, huddle... kick... run, run, run! They aren't really sure what they're doing or where they're going, but they seem to have a good time! I've heard they get better as the years go on... I guess we'll see. The ref had to keep asking, "Blue Team, which way are you going?" They just kept scoring on the wrong end of the field. And then as soon as they finally had it all figured out, half-time rolled around and they switched sides! Oh brother! But Izaak seemed to know what he was doing some of the time and actually scored 2 goals on his own (in the right goal box) and assisted in another goal! We are so proud!!!
