First Game

This afternoon Sam had his first soccer game. Of course it had to be a 95 degree day and Brian was playing in a golf tournament so I had both boys. As we rushed from the car to the field I was carrying all of our stuff plus Ben on my back while Sam trailed behind whining about how hot he was. Hmmm this was going to be fun. Mom saved the day by showing up and taking Ben on an errand so he didn't have to sit in the heat and watch the whole game.

At first our team had no clue what was going on -- we haven't had the most productive of practices. After seeing the other team score SEVERAL goals they started getting the hang of it. Sam kicked the ball and it was so close... and then his buddy Eli tapped it in! Woo hoo!

A few minutes later Sam took the ball down the field and scored! He was so thrilled! He turned around, threw his arms up in the air and had a huge smile. He is still talking about it tonight. :-)
