Soccer (is Over)!

Our soccer season ended this past Saturday.  Wow.  We woke up to rain Saturday morning, and headed out to the fields.  We had to stop by Walmart on the way for me to buy an umbrella.  I have been meaning to buy one for a while now, and the thought of sitting in the rain with Mercy to watch a soccer game didn't sound pleasant.  They had a great last game after a challenging season.  (Actually the past several games were better then previous ones.)  Since it was raining, some of the players on the other team weren't there.  Ryan rotated some of our players to their team to make it more fair.  They didn't mind playing in the rain, and actually had fun jumping through puddles with each other before the game.  We'll be taking a break from soccer next fall.  Aedan wants to try baseball next fall, and Josiah wants to try basketball, which will happen through the winter.  We'll see what happens, if they decide to go back to soccer, or are retired from competitive play. :)

Here are some pictures from our season.  (In no particular order)  I didn't take any pictures during the last game because I didn't want to take my camara out in the rain.  I took a couple with their medals when we got back to the house. 

Josiah

Go Josiah!

Aedan with his tongue out!  Go Aedan!

Ryan is placing Josiah where he should stand.  This is a common scene on the soccer field.  haha

Ryan with some of the team

It's not uncommon to see this: two players down due to tripping each other.

Ryan with the boys after the last game!

The kids and I.  The boys loved their new cool medals.
