Kickin' it Evan style!

Evan's last soccer games were held on Saturday. The first one at 9:45 in the morning in the wind and pouring rain. Let's just say that was not a very fun experience for anyone. The only things that made that game worthwhile were watching about five kids trying to huddle under one umbrella with the only soccer mom who remembered to bring one and the fact that the kids got their trophies after the game. They were afraid that if the rain continued the afternoon games would be cancelled - so the trophy ceremony was held before they were actually finished with the season.

Evan really enjoyed playing soccer. He isn't super fast or aggressive but he did manage to get his foot on the ball quite often and even scored a goal once. He is the youngest (or close to it) on his team so with that considered he did very well. He says he wants to play again in the Spring so I would say his first experience in the soccer realm was a positive one.


My proud little guy with his trophy. You can see the rain drops all over his shirt.




Big, fake, happy smile.




It cleared up beautifully for the afternoon game. It was still a bit chilly, but NO RAIN and when the sun peeked out it you could really feel the warmth.


E & E - little buddies.


Running it down the field!



In the last game, he tried harder than I have ever seen him try. He did such a great job of hustling to the ball.


You did great Voov! We are so proud of you!
