I'm a soccer dad!

I don't really enjoy soccer that much but watching you kids play makes it bearable. Watching little kids play is almost humorous. All of the missed kicks and random wandering is funny. McKinley and Gavin have played for almost two months and I finally remembered to bring the camera on the last week. Gavin's team played a bunch of 3-yr olds who didn't last very long. I was waiting to get a few more pictures but then they quit.

Here is a funny picture of Gavin. If you click on it and make it big, you can see the intense look on his face, even though he missed kicking the ball.

If you look in the goal you can see three of the opponents lined up in the goal blocking. Good strategy huh!

Let's move on to McKinley's game. She is kind of silly. Her games are a little more exciting but she is not very focused. Most of the pictures I took were kind of silly. When the action is going on, I got distracted and forgot to take pictures then. She likes to talk with her friends during the game, among other things. See the photos below.

Here is McKinley performing her in-game stretches.

She was being goofy and putting her arms and legs inside her shirt.

Here is McKinley getting scored on. She was not exactly in the right spot.

And last but definitely not least, enjoy this short video of McKinley's mad soccer skills.

We are glad that they are done. They each had practice on different nights and Gavin's games were Saturday morning and McKinley's were in the afternoon. We went and got ice cream to celebrate the end of the season. It's hard to take up my time with the kids' hobbies when I've got things that I want to do. It seems that it is only going to get worse as they get older. I guess that is part of me growing up too. My time is a very precious thing, its hard to see it go other places.

Till next season, soccer fans!!!!
