This morning Evan played in his first soccer game! He is playing on a 3 & 4 year old team with his friend Bowen. It's great having them on the same team so that we have friends to hang out with and they did this before, so they are teaching us "the ropes". Their team, The Scoobies, did really well today. I was so impressed by how well Evan did out there too. He was really aggressive (in a good way) and was in all the action. He sprinted back and forth and seemed to have a ball. It seems that at this age, most of the kids like to play for a few minutes, then they run off the field. Evan never really wanted to take a break and since most of the other kids did, he played about 90% of the game. He even scored a goal, but it didn't count b/c he crossed this blue circle line they put around the goal. There are no goalies in this league and I guess in season's past, kids would all huddle around the goal. To prevent that, they put a semi-circle around the goal and the kids have to kick the ball in the goal from outside of it. So, it didn't count, I was just pretty happy he kicked the ball into the right goal!!
Maxwell's first game was right after Evan's, so we got to stay and watch him play too. He did great and even scored a goal!!

What a fun family day, albeit insanely hot, on the soccer field!
