Soccer!!

Alice and Luca listen intently to Coach Cameron

So Alice started soccer today! Yay, Alice! She and her buddy Luca (Melanie's) are playing soccer together Saturday mornings. The whole family ventured out for Alice's first day - and it was a blast!

Coach Cameron has got to be about 15 or 16 years old - and for his age - is pretty darn good with this bunch of 3-4 year olds!!! I don't think I could do so well with all the parents (and aunties!) sitting around watching!

Anyway - there was a lot of running around - a lot of ball chasing - a lot of picking up balls with hands - and at LEAST 8 "Water" breaks! At least the kids all got their very own water bottles at the end of practice - so we'll have a big ol' bottle of water for next time!

Alice rocks at dribbling!


Another thing she's mastered - stopping the ball.


A little one-on-one between friends. . .


Probably about 20 or so waves to the fam during practice . . .


Aren't they freakin' adorable!?!?


And THIS . . .running together to get the ball!


More instructions from Coach Cameron.
