Soccer Camp!

Avery is just about finished with her 1st session of soccer camp! She's been interested in soccer for about a year so we decided to sign her up for an intro. to soccer. We had so much fun watching and cheering her on! I found myself excitedly cheering for her on the sidelines-wasn't the quietest mommy there, but I couldn't help it! We are so proud of her! (Bug, I promise I won't be an (overly) obnoxious soccer mom!)

They had the kids kick the ball against the wall and stop it with one foot, then return it to the wall. She got pretty good at that!

But she just couldn't help but stop the ball with her hands too. So cute! The class was a mix of

3 & 4 year olds, and none of them could resist the instict to grab the ball with their hands!

Great dribbling, Bug! Love this action shot!

Avery did this camp with her friend Allyson. Lots of social breaks for these two!

Avery would run over to Em and I once in a while and tell us she was so tired! Always had time for a quick hug for her little sister!

Avery is a lot like her mommy :) in that contact sports are not a favorite! For the most part she likes the camp, but she'd rather not run into and bump into the other kids. Pretty funny! (Remember me at softball, Amy?) Hahaha! There's a lot of me in Avery that's for sure! Emerson, on the other hand, couldn't just stay on the sidelines towards the end of the hour. Avery would tell me she was done kicking the ball and Em said, "I kick it Mommy!" Pretty cute.

And here's Em, finally on the floor, off the sidelines and ready to play!

These girls bring so much joy to our life everyday! Every day is a new experience, a new challenge, and new joy! Good job, Bug! You were a great sport and tried your best each day! That's all that matters! xoxo
