Soccer Sunday

What a great day! Owen had a make up game on Sunday. The opposing team was my good friend Kim's team. We had requested that Owen be on her team but we didn't make the cut, too many requests for such a popular coach :) Owen had a few friends on her team, her daughter Ella, our neighbor friends the Kersten's son and daughter and his friend Noah that he played soccer with last spring. The game was quite a comical one to say the least. The kids played hard and were really interacting with one another on the field. At one point Owen was trying to block Ella from the throw in. Note: Ella is about a good head taller than Owen. However, maybe in soccer that isn't an advantage? Owen also got nailed in the head with the ball and which caused some tears and comforting from Mom. Probably one of the best parts of the game for me was the camaraderie between us parents on the sidelines. It was so much fun to see our kids playing so well with one another. Everyone was cheering each other on no matter the team and the kids had us all laughing the entire time! This to me is the way all sports functions should be and can only hope they will stay this cordial and joyful throughout the years!
