Our first Soccer Game

Saturday was the Barracudas, but if you call them the Barracudas Alexis gets very upset and tells you that the team's name is the princesses, first soccer game. It was madness. We are playing a team that has all boys and one girl. They are also older from the looks at least 4 going on 5. The boys were running a passing and goal kicking drill I remember from my high school days of playing soccer. I look at Will and said "do you see that?" he now looks over at the other team with concern.

It is a cold and early ,8:45 to be exact, Saturday morning, I have forgotten the poor babies shoes, but she has her bunny jacket on. My father shows up, it is a little too early for my mom, He brings doughnuts and we have brought cupcakes so the player should have good sugar high after the game. William looks down at Alexis and realizes she has on jeans he has a minor fit, he saw her before she left the house I am not sure how he missed it, I explain she really does not own any shorts he instructs me we are going to Dick's Sporting Goods store after the game to get Alexis the right clothes. Thankfully my friend has sent shine guards, I did not even think about it.

So the game starts with a little boy breaking away and making a goal. Lordy that kid is fast. So the ball comes to us and we don't even really have a chance to kick it before the same kid does it again and he breaks away but this time he slightly misses the goal, Our ball again and then the other team makes a run on our goal and makes it. That is how the game went. Our girls where picking daisy's, Alexis was singing, one little girl stood very still and when the ball came near she screamed and ran the other way. So all of our goals were scored by the other team making the mistake of kicking the ball in our goal.

What a day. I said to William "you all need some practice" he laughed and replied "I am not sure any amount of practice can help us." So I asked "but you are having fun right" He smiles and keeps driving. I then say "well I think this is a waste of time and money." So I turn to Alexis and ask "did you have fun?" She replies "yes" So I guess that makes all worth it....I guess!!!
