Spring Soccer FINALLY done

Cheese!!

Ok, we loved watching the boys play soccer, but we are so glad it is over!! The weather was so awful about half the time. I don't think the kids minded too much, but it sure was miserable for us on the sidelines. Kylan loved every minute of soccer, and Alex, almost every minute. Alex had kind of a rough time at the end. The first few games, he loved just running all over the field. As long as he got to kick the ball into the net at the end of the game, he was perfectly happy. Then about half way through the season, there was a game where a few of the kids on his team were gone and the other team was not very good and he kicked about 4 goals during actual time of play. After that taste of what soccer is really supposed to be like, the other games were very disappointing for him. Needless to say, I think we will hold off on fall soccer and wait until at least spring to put him in again. Kylan did very well. He wasn't the best kid on the team, but he had so much fun and always had a smile on his face. He is one of those kids that pretty much everything he tries, he is fairly good at and enjoys. He did miss his last couple of games because the tournament were a last minute thing and we didn't know the schedule at all until we were out of town. He didn't seem to mind though. I think he is ready to move on to summertime stuff. That is, if summer ever gets here! I am tired of the cold!
